Eh? Even if you hose the MBR, it's trivial to fix the drive. 1) Just boot a Rescue or Live CD, and have it re-install GRUB/Lilo/bootloader of your choice, and you're back in business. 2) Forgot to make a rescue CD? Boot a DOS system disk, and run 'fdisk /mbr', so you can boot Windows, then download the rescue or live image, and do step 1. Been there, done that, got the t-shirt. ;-) - Rich > While the Live disks are OK to get a feel for the program, they are way > too slow to be practical and can be counterproductive to demonstrate to > others due to the slow operation. > Need a Digital mode QSO?
