    Updating MBR
    Hi,

    My hard disk is not working properly.

    I formatted it with win98.

    Now I want to update Master Boot Record of it.

    But I want to know the procedure to Update the MBR.

    Please tell the procedure to update MBR with win98 bootable CD.

    Thank you.

    Use a Win98 boot floppy/cd, get to a command prompt and use the command "fdisk /mbr" (without the quotes). (This command re-writes the master boot record, it does not wipe out the hard disk).

    Disclaimer (like all commands that modify the hard disk boot files, registry, etc. you run the chance of the PC not being able to boot if something negative happens when you run this command) Although that risk is minimal, please use at your own risk as I cannot take responsibility if something happens.
