MBR switch on FDISK

Appreciate the ref, Curt; the machine on which I had all my saved pages,
links, and threads is the one that went down.
Thanks for your time,
Joe

Hi Joe,
See this MS article on FDISK /MBR:

FDISK /MBR Rewrites the Master Boot Record

I think I recall reading someone posting that the /MBR switch on
FDISK
not only rewrites the master boot record, but also wipes out partition
table
data, so that if you use /MBR on a disk with multiple partitions on it,
you
lose the partition data. Is this true?
I have a problem with a corrupted MBR (I think) and my old version
of
Partition Magic doesn't do the MBR, apparently.
Thanks for your time, as always,
Joe
