I have a dual boot system, win2k on the first hd, linux on the second.  I want to use fdisk but fdisk doesn't work in win2k under the cmd prompt.  How can i fdisk the mbr under win2k?

You need to start up from a bootdisk.

Win98 BootDisk is always a great thing to have around.

so let me get this straight; to fix this problem in one of the "_"latest and greatest"_" micro$haft os's you need to use something that can only be made with a product that they are discontinuing because it was made old and useless by that (?)new(?) os? makes perfect sense to me.

Lol! You are correct sir! That's the results of M$'s  best thinking at work.

The Win98 boot disk is the peak of windows start up floppies.

Compare it to Tom's root boot disk! What a difference in capability.

personally i think the DOS 6.22 boot floppy is microsoft's best effort. that's one of their first bootdisks to admit that fat32 exists, it all went downhill from then on...
