DOS' fdisk should do it by running ``fdisk /mbr''. Windows 95 always prefers to clobber the bootblock, you don't need a special option there. That's why they call it plug and pray. :-) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
