I found a nice little utility that fixes the MBR, but it CANNOT be run from a DOS-shell. You must "Restart in MS-DOS mode" then you can run this utility. It is called bteasy14.zip. I don't exactly remember where I got it, but I'm sure that it is archie-able. Be careful when running this kind of utility, make backups if you can!!! Good luck. -sean.
