To correct a corrupt MBR or partition table, you can use command-line tools like "diskpart" in Windows or "fdisk" in Linux to rewrite the MBR or partition table. Another option is to use third-party disk management software that can repair or rebuild the MBR and partition table. Alternatively, restoring from a recent backup or reinstalling the operating system can also fix the issue.

I had a similar problem with a Gateway FX-6800-01e running Windows Vista, except on my machine Alt+F10 does not work, but F8 does. The following is the procedure I used. (I based this procedure on information in the Windows 7 Resource Kit, so it probably works for that operating system as well.) There has to be an intact recovery partition on the hard disk in order for this to work. No guarantees, but this is what worked for me. DO NOT DO THIS UNLESS YOU ARE WILLING TO DESTROY ALL THE DATA ON YOUR HARD DISK, OR YOU ARE SURE THE DATA IS ALREADY DESTROYED! In the following procedure, when I say to enter something, I mean type the text between the quotation marks and then press Enter. (Do not enter the quotation marks.) 1. While the system is going through the boot process, press F8 repeatedly until Advanced Boot Options comes up. 2. Choose Repair Your Computer. 3. Log in using a user name other than Administrator. 4. Select Command Prompt. 5. Type "diskpart" and press Enter. 6. Enter "list disk" to display a list of disk drives. 7. Enter "select disk <x>", where <x> is the number of the disk drive that has the recovery partition. 8. Enter "list partition" and figure out which one is the recovery partition. (Mine was 10 GB in size.) 9. Enter "select partition <x>", where <x> is the number of the recovery partition determined in the previous step. 10. Enter "detail partition" to see information about the partition. (This may help you confirm that you have selected the recovery partition.) 11. Enter "active" to make the recovery partition active. (This automatically makes the previously active partition inactive.) 12. Enter "exit" to exit from the diskpart utility. 13. Enter "exit" to exit from the command prompt. 14. Click on Restart. The recovery partition should now boot, allowing you to restore the system to its factory default configuration.
