Can someone confirm the F disk procedure - heard it involves using a boot disk then:

F disk

(then )

F disk \MBR

???

i usually go with

windoes 98 boot disk

boot up

type fdisk

set partitions up or remove,


if you have xp disk boot from it , kid on you are going to do an install,

create partitions from there and exit out

install your OS

hope this helps

Depends what you want fdisk to do really?

Scooby96

have a laptop thats locked by safeboot - want to bypass safeboot and start afresh

chiark

fdisk /mbr reinstalls the master boot record with standard boot code, which is where the safethingy code probably resides. Note that you will very likely lose your data, but I guess you know that

Cheers,
