I am helping a friend with a problem. He had a message that his Master Boot Record was modified. He lost his CD. If he booted to a prompt with his Boot disk from 98 and typed in Format_MBR would that hurt his OS that he is using. He does not want to crash. I told him that it was possible that Formatting the MBR could damage his OS he is running at the time.Any help would be appreciated. Bruce

using the "Fdisk /mbr" will fix your Master boot record, try that before anything.
