I would guess that such is the case. (You're referring to the program loaded into the inital 446 bytes of the MBR -- just to be precise about this.) > What I'm getting at is, can I use an old DOS fdisk to rewrite a MBR on > a Win XP machine? (Referring to the ancient "FDISK /MBR" trick.) I think so, yes. But it's just a plausible theory until someone risks hosing a system to test it. ;-> _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
