Hi! There is no need to use Linux to replace the MBR boot code,
you can easily do that with DOS tools. Of course if you prefer

I assume you want to get rid of Windows, so you do not need to
convert from GPT to MBR. Deleting the partitions
If GPT is the issue, should a Linux based tool be used to get around
that? I'm thinking something like boot nuke or something similar.

Hello
Hello everyone,
I'm having a problem installing Freedos 1.1/1.2 on my laptop.
The laptop came shipped with a custom Freedos version from Hp, I installed
Win10 on a second drive, had some problems and need to return the laptop.
I took out the second drive, and the win bootloader was still there.
