Have you tried to use a boot disk and done the command:

fdisk /mbr ?

recon4data - I am not sure that the BIOS have been hit, but you can do it this way.
Remove battery - move BIOS jumper into position to clear - refit battery and start.
I usually then go to the save screen and select 'default settings'.
Now restart with a boot disk and fdisk/mbr - or with XP fix/mbr
