Answer : Problem: MBR & BOOT SECTOR

Excerpt from:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q140418/

On floppy disks, the boot sector is the first sector on the disk. In the case of hard drives, the first sector is referred to as the "Master Boot Record" or "MBR." This MBR is different from a file system boot sector and contains a partition table, which describes the layout of logical partitions on that hard drive. The file system boot sector would be the first sector in one of those partitions.
