Hi All-

        I was working on an older 486 machine for a friend,  actually installing
one of those y2k bios cards so he could avoid a more expensive upgrade.  I
installed the card, rebooted to dos and ran a check program just to make
sure the thing really would work.  Everything went fine, so I powered down
the machine and rebooted, and now I can't get windows to load from the hard
drive. The floppy boots fine, and niether scandisk nor norton reports thier
being anything wrong with the drive. I can also freely access the drive.

I tried to do an fdisk /mbr, didn't help, and I scanned for viruses as
well, not that either.  Can anyone suggest some things I might try to make
the disk bootable again?  I didn't change anything in the bios, and the
disk is detected fine from there.

The disk:  528MB seagate
The OS: Win95 ( a I believe)
The bios is an Award 4.50G

Thanks for your help.
