Re: FixMBR says I have on-standard or invalid boot record

So FIXMBR is warning you that something in the bootstrap area does not look like a standard bootstrap program...

I'm not sure how FIXMBR could determine what is a standard bootstrap program since every version of them is different, so it is probably telling you that what is in the MBR's bootstrap area is different that what it will put there.

AFAIK fixmbr always returns that warning message. Do a brand new installation and try it, or try in on the installation that you have now and even if you have never changed or touched your mbr it will still give you the warning message. What you say may or may not be true, there is no way of knowing by reading that warning message whether or not you have a non-standard or invalid master boot record, or whether or not a different mbr will be written to the disk.
