Re: [digitalradio] Removing Linux MBR from hard drive

2009-05-19 Thread kd6aaj
Try "partboot" (dowloadable from the internet). You can delete Linux/NTSF/MSDOS 
partitions and make partitions with it.

Try Fdisk /mbr

I apologize if this is too far off topic.

Playing with Linux this past week I apparently hosed my old laptop. I can boot 
from a floppy, but not from the hard drive. FDISK doesn't help and neither does 
FORMAT - when it tries to boot from the hard drive I get an error message 
indicating it's still trying to boot from XUBUNTU.

Can anyone tell me, using the bootable floppy I have, how I can get rid of the 
Linux MBR? Under FDISK, it won't let me delete either the DOS partition or the 
EXT DOS partition.

Any help greatly appreciated!

Tnx es 73

Sounds like the effects of Hetrodyne noise and natural propogation shift.

According to the news today, all 22 crewmembers are safe and were able to 
weather the storm!

Thank you Lord!

Keep them in your prayers!

Evidently they used VHF marine, or possibly HF. They are in the Gulf of Mexico, 
so ship-to-shore freqs are probably possible.

In a related story, I live on the North Coast of California, and in 1991 I 
talked to a boat 75 miles out (west) with an AM Citizens Band radio using only 
2 watts (before I got my Ham License).

The antenna was a center-loaded "trucker's" mirror mount antenna I nailed to 
the peak of a 1-story house about 100 feet above sea-level.

I live in an apartment now, antenna restrictions, arghhh!!!
