I appears that you do not need to do fdisk/mbr edison..If you have
access to your drive now, you are fine. once you get all squared away
though , try to make a linux boot disc that works...it can save you
grief in the future..
It sounds above, like you were trying to use the nonworking
Linux boot disc to run fdisk/mbr? you would actually want to run that
from the DOS/MS windows boot disc not the Linux one...Just in case you
need to ever do it in the future.
