Hmmm ..

From here: http://www.ata-atapi.com/hiwmbr.htm

We can see that this particular message is displayed when there's an error
while reading the first sector of the partition itself. So, the MBR is
already read and the boot code seems intact (as it is executing). An active
partition was found, and it's now trying to read the first sector of that
partition (the boot sector). When doing so 'a' read error occurs.

No, assuming the above is correct that wouldn't change much.

With what did you *make* the copy? I am sure that if you have software that
can make a backup of the MBR, it can restore it as well ...

Test the disk surface for read errors. The demo for DiskPatch can perform a
surface scan, where it will simply test if sectors on the disk can be read.

Also, probably the manufacturer of you hard disk offers a diagnostic tool on
his website, download that tool and have it test the disk.

Ok, understand

I have just choose "yes" when installing BeOs (altough you couldn't
know...as you can imagine from the name, is an operating system)
when it asked "mad a copy of mbr?"... so i don't know how to
restore...it's cd hadn't utilities for restore, so i need a sw of
other...

But you seem to have internet access, so, why not download the diagnostic
tool + a boot diskette from www.bootdisk.com?
