If it's win32, my experience would have me recommend just booting from a floppy of a win boot disk to restore the MBR. It's just quick that way. If my memory serves right, even a win98 boot disk should work. Why load up all of the unneeded Windows device drivers and other stuff, if you can just 'fix' it? IIRC, just to get to the `Recovery Console' (if you please) takes many, many minutes. Steve
