fdisk /mbr method is a much easier and safe way to clean up the partition sectors in a HDD. Of course, the DEBUG is a handy tool but you need to put a few lines of assembly code to call BIOS INT13 to wipe out the master boot sector. I can't believe you still remember how to do it, David. Last time I did it, I had to open my dusty DOS book:) As for boot from CD-ROM, it requires BIOS support. Not sure what is support in L1 BIOS. I'll just hook up a 2.5" to 3.5" converter and copy all the XP files from another computer to the HDD and run setup from HDD directly. ----- Original Message ----- From: "David VanHorn" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Libretto" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, February 28, 2003 2:32 PM Subject: Re: [LIB] L1 Scrub Date: Fri, 28 Feb 2003 14:28:20 -0500 From: David VanHorn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [LIB] L1 Scrub At 07:48 AM 2/28/2003 -0800, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: >Date: Fri, 28 Feb 2003 16:46:47 +0100 >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: Re: [LIB] L1 Scrub > >If it is really a bootsector virus, you can boot from a floppy and type: >fdisk /mbr I used debug to write zeroes to the boot sector.
