Precisely what I did (ctrl pnl | YaST2 modules | system | Boot Loader Configuration) and YaST said oh no, can't do that. Cant install to the drive with 8.2, can't install tot he drive with 9.0, and can't install to a floppy. Every time it said it was having big issues. I finally did load grub to the wniders drive, the first drive in the system. But that's not what I desired to do AND fdisk /mbr does not remove grub from the system.?????
You are booting from a dos disk which has fdisk on it before you try the fdisk /mbr aren't you? Also your dos/windows disk must be active. I would boot with the dos disk, do c: enter to see if you can look at your first drive and if you can then do the fdisk without the mbr switch to see which disk is active. From the dialog that is present you can select the drive you want to play with, make it active then do the mbr thing by closing fdisk and reboot with your dos disk, THEN do fdisk /mbr. It may be a little convoluted but that should restore the mbr on your first harddrive. Once you have that done, you can boot from the cd or dvd and do what the others have suggested. Richard
