Replying to a message of Peter Magnusson to All:
PM> We therefore seek information what to do.
PM> Can we just copy MBR, boot and partiontable from
PM> another W95 computer?
If you copy the information from an identical drive, which was partitioned in
exactly the same way, yes, you can just copy this stuff from another drive.
PM> Can INT 13h/2 read an unpartioned disk, or do I need
PM> to use another function?
Yes it can. Int 13h is the hardware-level BIOS interrupt for drive access..
it runs below operating system level, and is what put the partition records
on teh drive in the first place.
