That is rather strange then since I never used a bios function ever and yet
the alterations made by committing a fdisk session to the mbr seems to be
correct as far as what the mbr has to say about what is going to happen on
that particular drive afterwards without the bios ever coming in to play
other then to recongnize the bootable flag put on the partitions it never
created in the first place.

If what you say is true, then please explain how a fdisk session would be
successful at all at (re)setting everything as well as identifying bootable
partitions to the bios and not the other way around.

Life is good,
Maurice
