MS-Windows used to have an undocumented switch "fdisk /mbr" which would

Undocumented?
Yes, it didn't appear in any of their regular help sources, at least not
back when I used to touch MS-Windows.
The command above works pre-XP.
For XP, it is fixmbr and/or fixboot..
For Vista and Seven, it is bootrec /fixmbr and/or bootrec /rebuildbcd.
Ah excellent. I'll make a mental note.
Thanks,
