If he types the above exactly, it is highly unlikely anything will happen except "bad command or filename". FDISK is usually in either C:\DOS or C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND, not the root. Simply FDISK /MBR will generally do the job, which is to fix a broken master boot record by installing a brand new one. Unlike lilo -U, DOS FDISK knows nothing about any previous MBR state. -- "Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
