Re: [Revert to dos]
Well...as usual it didn't work. I tried the fdisk /mbr command. And it
didn't do ANYTHING to my computer. I still can't change my partition
information at ALL. So the Fdisk /mbr option didn't fix it. My computer still locks up at the beginning. I don't even get any error
messages like "missing o/s". Plus the fact I have to hard boot the
system everytime it does that. Anyone else can help?
