Elaborate please:  We want Win NT/2K/XP?  We also need Win 95/98/ME?  We don't care 
about Dos & Linux & Mac solutions?  We only want something that can be downloaded for 
free?  We want to edit the MBR without otherwise erasing the disk?

Myself, for Win & Dos & Linux & Mac, to do this kind of thing I use:
http://members.aol.com/plscsi/

But plscsi is hardly suitable for general use: it's like using AT commands to dial the 
Internet.

But someone could take that core and add a GUI to try and keep people out of trouble.  
My point is, in Windows, one can easily muck around with the MBR, at least if you 
don't need a GUI, using short snippets of code you can build with such free C 
compilers as the gcc of http://www.mingw.org

I get a lot of questions like this...

Can anyone suggest a "disk doctor" program that can restore the MBR
sector data on an external 1394/Firewire hard disk? 

Any ideas out there? 

Thanks.

Hale
