fdisk /mbr will not effect other aspects of windows 3.x or 9.x; NT needs
a bit of care on other logical disks. If you're running NT, let me know,
because the fix is a bit complicated. More than a bit, but doable. Linux
would be easy to fix afterwards if the microsoft tendency to overlook
other unix-like partitions rears it's ugly head. Just be aware of the
latter, you'll be all right; i.e. backup critical sections, etc.

Jim Griffin
