[Sheflug] Disaster?

[Ruth Gunstone <xxxxx [at] xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Help!!

My computer refused to boot tonight - complained of "Missing Operating
System".

I've got the machine booted now, thanks to the boot floppy I made earlier.
I'm guessing that somehow the boot sector on hda has become damaged (?). How
do I restore it (or is it time for a new HDD?)

FYI - Linux (Mandrake 8.2) is installed on hdb, while hda contains the boot
sector (obviously!), Windows98, and most of my work-files.

Any advice welcomed - as ever!

TTFN!
