Fdisk : "Format Disk" ( a powerful and dangerous tool. Makes it 
possible to erase and create partitions. If used erroneously, 
data will be lost ). This programme comes in a Windows version 
and a Linux version. The Windows one can be used if by accident 
you can't boot into Windows anymore, by this command :
fdisk /MBR.

MBR : Master Boot Record ( the "first" sector on a hard disk, 
from where the system "bootstraps" itself into life.)
