Hi,
I have a CELEBRIS with NT workstation 4.0.
I already created the startup floppy formatting a, copying boot.ini,
ntdetect.com, bootsect.dos, ntldr. I read that when the diskette is
formatted a copy of the Partition Boot Sector is transfered to the
diskette.
I also, created a repair disk with rdisk /s.
Now, I need to know if the Master Boot record or the Partion Boot
sector would corrupt, would I be able to restore them with these 2
diskettes and how?
Regards,
Nieves

re: MDR01::NIEVES
I went through the process of repairing a bad boot sector recently. I
used the 3 NT installation startup diskettes and chose repair. Though
I had an up-to-date recovery disk, I chose not to use it and the repair
process still fixed my machine and made it bootable again.

So,
only with the 3 setup diskettes you can solve any corruption in the
MASTER BOOK BLOCK and PARTITION BOOT SECTOR, incredible, you don't even
need the "repair diskette".
Thanks,

>> MASTER BOOK BLOCK and PARTITION BOOT SECTOR
Nieves, I only had a bad boot block; partition information was intact.
I cannot confirm, and in fact doubt, that one can repair partition
information without the RDISK-created diskette. Hopefully, I won't
have to find out. ;-)
