Perhaps not,try this semi risky alternative.Boot from a DOS start up 
disk of the same version you are running.At the C:\>  type fdisk /mbr

In theory,this will rebuild your Master Boot Record.
 Another fix may be to use an older NT repair disk, and allow it to 
recreate this,but i would try the fdisk /mbr command first.I know what 
you mean about a reinstall, sometimes for peace of mind this is the 
only viable option,but in your situation ,I would try this first.Good 
luck..
