Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Question, please: A while back, on my multi boot sys, which is Win 9x/NT 4.0 and FreeBSD 2.2.7 I believe I came up with a virus. One morning while getting on the PC I noticed my ONLY option at the boot prompt was F1 to go to DOS, no more F5 to go to FreeBSD. My question is, How can I get rid of boot easy option, the MBR and start over again, without destroying the functional system of Win 9x/NT4.0, and then re-install? It seems I remember a DOS command (I have also the complete DOS 6.22 on c:\) like format /mbr The problem is though, and I admit my inabilities here readily, I don't want to wipe out the whole MBR and lose both my current sys functionality. I am assuming most of you are already way out in front of me on this, and most of what I'm saying is probably redundant & bores you to tears. :) I would sure appreciate any help and substantive advice.
