Win 7 Installer Trashes Boot Record

Hi,

Has anyone else found that when installing Win 7 off a USB memory stick, that it trashes the boot record after the first part of installation?

Best regards,
AstroTux.

Never had that problem but I never installed off a USB drive.

What exactly happens ? Haven't heard of any cases of that happening either.
