In win95 and probably 98 you could do:
fdisk /mbr
on the command line
XP not sure.

I would guess, to make the disk unbootable in a way the bios can recognize, means overwriting the last to bytes of the MBR which should be 0x55 0xAA with something else. For simplicity for example overwriting the whole MBR. If running linux that would be: # dd if=/dev/zero bs=512 count=1 of=/dev/hda
but I do not know how to do this with xp. does someone else know?
