New SCSI hard drive - MBR

[Marcus Dempsey]

Hi,

First off, this is sort of a 2000 problem.

I am currently in the process of upgrading our PDC (Windows NT 4) to Windows
2000 Server, but our Boot disk doesnt have much space available. I have got
a new hard disk and copied over the entire contents of the old hard disk
(done by a restore job from backup exec 9.1). My question now is, is there
a way to re-create the MBR so it will point to the old Windows NT, so I can
perform the Windows 2000 upgrade.

I am running a Dell PowerEdge 4400 and have SCSI drives connected to a PERC
3/di controller.
