    There is no such thing as a "Zero Sector", a hard drive does have sectors though, but there is no "Zero Sector".

    For future reference, the correct place to post stuff like this is the 'Windows' forum.

    Don't get so cocky. This erases the ZERO sector on your hard drive. Nothing is safe.

    But aren't you running a RAID config and splitting the stuff over One & Zero?

    There is a sector 0.

    Sector 0 is the MBR ( master boot record ).

    Should it become damaged in any way , the command "fixmbr" typed into the recovery console usually replaces it with a new one.

    No big deal!
