fdisk /mbr

[Thufir]

Going by the KC:

"Warning Writing the master boot record to the hard disk in this manner
can make certain hard disks partitioned with SpeedStor unusable. It can
also cause problems for some dual-boot programs and disks with more than
four partitions."

does this mean that the command will fail for an OEM install?



thanks,

Don't use FDisk - use fixmbr

Why are you needing to rewrite the MBR?

Thanks for the link. I don't need to, it was a hypothetical.
