The Master Boot Record is the same for pretty much all Operating Systems. It is located on the first Sector of the Hard Drive, at Cylinder 0, Head 0, Sector 1. It is the first piece of code that your computer runs after it has checked all of your hardware (POST) and turned control of loading software over the hard drive. It also contains the partition table, which defines the different sections of your hard drive. Basically if anything happens to this little 512 byte section, your hard drive is brain dead.
