How to revert to original mbr using grub4dos?

[rjbrewer]

Problem is fixed.
I appreciate the support from members of this forum.

Screw it up again so we can give more help. I was looking forward to over twenty pages worth of help.

The nice thing about Grub4dos is;

You can overwrite it by running Grub Legacy and have a proper,
reliable, Grub mbr without an excessively verbose boot screen.

What I conclude here is:

Screwup22 never came back on the last advice given.
Maybe because Stramke hijacked the thread and it wasn't obvious if he had a problem or wanted to help.

If he had a problem, which I think was the case, he should have opened a new thread. This is common practice here in the forum.

hi all,

thank you for all the replies - I did what rcrsn51 suggested before his second lengthy reply of "yes" and it seemed to do the job for me. At worst I'd have just had to format my hard drive and re-install windows, but what rcrsn51 suggested worked, and I hope it won't cause me problems down the line.

Strampke didn't hijack the thread - the opposite in fact - I believe he/she might have hit the nail on the head by understanding precisely what it was that I was originally asking for.

Also, yes - so many times I've regretted not writing things down - I'm too dependent on google! either that or on some level I just want to make things more difficult for myself by gambling things will work out! so thanks Béèm, you're right, and I'm closer to learning that lesson I hope!!

Anyway, I had meant to come back sooner to this thread, but after the stress of trying to sort out something I'm sure you guys find easy, I needed to metaphorically lie in the recovery position for a while hehehehe... apologies for not returning sooner

thanks again all who contributed to this thread - I'll read it more thoroughly now.

And having done so now, I'd just like to say thanks again to everyone who posted. A lot of it goes over my head though, so I'll stick to being a driver for a while, as opposed to being a mechanic.
