  Occasionally [due to Virii or bad software] the master boot record can
become corupted.  Using fdisk /mbr re-writes it with a valid MBR.  It has
saved me a couple of times.

  Is it properly documented yet?  It used to be one of the many "secret"
undocumented tricks that could occasioanlly work wonders.

  I have no idea whether the OS/2 fdisk can do it or not.
