How do you reset the MBR. I have a menu that is comming up for a duel boot but one of the OS's has been removed and I wanted to get rid of that menu, at least for the moment.
Is there a way to update changes to the MBR?

if you have lilo, alter /etc/lilo.conf. erase or comment out everything on that os you want to remove. then run lilo without options. if it doesn't give you problems, you're ok.
fdisk /mbr will rewrite the MBR for you.
a little dated but,

I had the same prob once couldent get rid of it (Didnt really know how to but I was formatting again so that sorted it out )
this is quite leathel but it will work to remove anything off of a disk!!)
start pc with startup utility disk that has your system files and a copy of debug on it.
type debug to get the prog going then
TYPE THIS INTO THE DEBUG PROGRAM EXACTLY
A 100
INT 13
(ENTER)
RAX
0301
RBX
0200
F 200 L 200 0
RCX
0001
RDX
0080 OR 81,82,83
P

That should do it
Just a side note this looses everything on the HD so format afterwards.

If so, you can disable it in the software.
