Reinstalling WinME: MBR not setup correctly

Hello all together,

my old computer with WinME got a really bad virus that I couldn't remove so I reinstalled the OS. The trouble is, that after the setup BIOS tells me that no OS is installed - which seems to me that the MBR (first sector with information about OSs and partitions) is not updated by Win. What can be the problem?

Many thanks in advance
Simon

PS Personally I just can think of one other possibility. I can delete the first partition completely with Linux so that Win creates a ew one. Do you think that might help?
