You shouldn't have tried it (unless you knew exactly what you were doing).

Under what operating system does your PC run? What is the name of the boot
virus you found? Was it actually found or you just assume that you have a boot
virus? If yes on the latter then why? What is the AV product that claims that
you have one?

Try IVINIT from http://invircible.com/iv_tools.php#Ivinit

My god, do people still get those? I thought the inclusion of MBR Write
protect in BIOS had put an end to that.
