What is MBRtool :
MBRtool allows you to make backups of your MBR, restore them and manipulate
the MBR (master boot record) of your harddisk. The partition tables can be
edited (usually for recovery purposes) and the MBR can be recreated from
scratch if necessary.
All manipulation/edit functions can also be performed on the backups made
with MBRtool, thus allowing recovery to be performed on machines far away
from ground zero. For instance, a MBR can be sent to someone, who fixes the
partition table entries and then sends the backup back to the original sender.
The original sender restores the backup and all should be well.

The program runs in Real mode Windows 9x, or DOS. The program can perform some
of it's functions under Protected mode Windows 9x/Windows ME. Read the manual
for further details.

This program is intended for: - recovery purposes
                              - preventing data loss caused by corrupted MBR's
                              - power users

It is adviced to read the manual. Some of MBRtool's features are potentially
very destructive, if the program is not used with caution.
