"fdisk/mbr". Maybe that works under NT too, or maybe it'll at least give
you a clue. "mbr" stands for "Master Boot Record", Microsoft's name for
the boot sector.
"fdisk/mbr" does NOT clobber your hard disks, so you don't need to
reinstall the OS. That's nice. I'd be very careful about invoking
any reformatter, or of "fdisk" without the "/mbr" flag, because they
could clobber the disk. And besides, the MBR resides outside any
partition, so repartitioning your hard disk or reformatting a partition
won't touch it.
