If I can get into the command prompt with a usb windows recovery tool, couldn't I just use bootrec /fixmbr and bootrec /fixboot to create a new MBR?Quote:

you may not notice that much imprvement with a 850evo , but if you have to replace a drive there is minimal reason not to go with a full SSD - if there is a problem with the soldered flash you can always ignore it
To be fair if it comes down to paying a couple hundred euro for a new HDD, I will simply bin it and buy a new one. Well, not bin it, but give it to a local college or something minus HDD.Quote:

Cheers for your help though.
