If all that's overwritten is the MBR itself, that can be reconstructed. Hell even old FDISK/MBR might do it.
But if the partition table got overwritten and it was anything other than trivial, the average user will be outta luck.
public void alwaysDo()
{
User user = new User();
user.keepOriginalSoftware();
user.knowHowToInstallOriginalSoftware();
user.backupYourData(USB_DRIVE);
// for good cloud backup goto http:www.crashplan.com
user.backupYourData(CLOUD);
}
It is far simpler to have an image backup done once per week...keeping several past images on hand...and on a separate HD.
If Rombertik hoses the drive, wipe the drive and re-image the drive from a clean copy.
This is what I do with Macrium Reflect and it has saved my bacon numerous times.
