Oops - I let "boot sector" throw me off. I'll assume your hard drive is
C: for this example; if not, just substitute proper drive letter.

c:
cd \drdos
sys c:

It's very important that you use the "sys" from the drdos directory. Now
reboot. That should be it. You might want to fdisk /m (it might be
fdisk /mbr in drdos) at some point, though it's not absolutely
necessary.
