[nflug] Erasing MBRs

[Justin Bennett]

What do you mean messed up? Is there a boot loader on the MBR? For linux 
or windows?

In dos you can do a 'fdisk /mbr'

this will wipe it, which means if there was a lilo or grub on the MBR it 
will be gone and you may not be able to boot your PC in linux.  If you 
can boot into linux you should be able to do a 'lilo' or 'grub-install' 
to reinstall the boot loader on the MBR (if that is where you configured 
it to go).
