How can I clear my MBR?

[Pete]

Hey kids, I just used Drive Image Pro to copy my Maxtor 5400rpm onto a Maxtor 7200rpm. I fdisked and formatted the 7200rpmer, but the MBR is still left over from when I had three OSes and BootMagic on it, so I'm getting an error message saying it can't load BM, press key to continue. How can I remove BM from the MBR?

Thanks.

At the A: type the following: fdisk /mbr

Will the HD be bootable/usable after that? Or will I have to reinstall Windows?

It should work fine. I used it to get rid of Lilo once, and it booted right back up into Windows. I would wait for a second opionion tho

It should work. I am almost 100% sure I did that to remove Lilo also and it worked fine. But then again I am not 100% sure.
