Well, I was going to suggest "FDISK C: /MBR" but a little searching on Microsoft's web site indicates that rewrites the code at the beginning of the sector, but not the partition table itself. I had been under the impression that it copied the backup partition table, too, but I was wrong. If you're running Windows 2000 or Windows XP the recovery console might help out. These links http://www.datarescue.com/laboratory/partition4.htm http://grc.com/cih.htm http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg16710.html will tell you more than you probably want to know about boot sectors, BPBs, boot records, MBRs, partition tables, etc. A quick Google search finds a ton of paid and free software utilities to ditz about with the MBR and the partition tables.
