"Boot record signature AA55 not found (2B10 found)

If you look in technet (Q149877) it gives a "work around" which seems very tricky.

Have you tried fdisk /mbr with a do2 6.2X disk?

I assume you still have the ghost copy of your system in case this blows up the mbr instead of fixing it.

Good luck.

BTW, you also may want to look at ahoffmanns Q in this same area. He has a similar problem and some of the comments may be of use to you
