Hi,
my suggestion is to use WINPE 2.0 non only for repair corrupted boot sector,
but even to deploy your image.
If I understand the way you do, connecting and removing the Sata disk is
painful and error prone.
Many use Ghost2003 booting from a DOS system, otherwise I suggest you this
article from XPe Files Blog:

I understand that booting from a SATA disk is much faster than booting from
CD ROM, a USB key could be a half way solution.
hope this helps
Raffaele
