Hi,

I have been messing around trying to set up a dual boot installation on an
old laptop and somehow I've wiped the master boot record - at least, the
startup disk now says that it can't find one on /dev/hda.
I know its been mentioned before but I can'r find it in my archives - can
someone please remind me what the command is to rebuild the mbr (mbr -f ?)?
Thanks,

Best wishes,
Ian
