[QUOTE="krowser, post: 9390, member: 346"] @ Barbiegirl You might try something as simple as installing the drive as the only drive in the system, booting with an MS-DOS startup disk, and typing FDISK /MBR. This usually kills drive overlay software overlay software = Master boot record, which I don't think will help in this case. BTW, Use [b]FDISK /CMBR <drive number>[/b] where <drive number> represents the drive you wish to recreate the master boot record. To determine the drive number, run the [b]fdisk /status[/b] command.
