Hi all having looked at my sisters PC today, i did a virus scan with AVG Free. Now as you may know (the people that use the product) AVG scans key areas of the system, such as the boot sector and the MBR. Now when i looked on screen at the scan i could see that AVG had trouble scanning these and because my sisters PC (our old one) which is an Advent 3309 was shop bought from PC World. Now the PC contains a "Smart Image" or "Ghost Image" if thats what you want to call it, my question is will it still be intact if the Boot sector and the MBR are damaged if i do a reformat?
