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.

start pc with startup utility disk that has your system files and a copy of debug on it.

TYPE THIS INTO THE DEBUG PROGRAM EXACTLY

If so, you can disable it in the software.
