How to copy bootsector onto a HD with lost Bootsector?

[SnoopyDog]

Hi there

How do I copy a OK bootsector onto a HD with a corrupted bootsector??

The HD was fully funktional when the power was taken from it........
After that and on the next bootup it told me that "no WIN is installed"

When trying to boot from the HD which has 60 GB of data on it, it just tells me that no WIN is installed. But there is I know.

I have tested the corrupt HD and discovered that the boot sector is corupted. If I open the HD in Win XP it tells me that the disk is NOT formattet. And says "do you whant to format"

If I boot up on a WIN boot disk I can see that 60 GB of data is stille there...

What do I do???

Help Pls.

Sorry for my bad English, I am Danish ;-)
