There are several ways to reset the MBR:

Boot from DOS and type:

￿FDISK /MBR or

￿GDISK /MBR (utility available from ghost)

Boot to WinPE 2.0 and type: Bootsect –nt52 c: /force.

WinPE 2.0 and bootsect.exe are part of the WAIK that you can download from Microsoft.

These steps do not alter any other data on the disk.

Another option is to erase the disk under WinPE using the CLEAN command available in diskpart.

Reminders

The following sections provide information about the window that pops-up to remind users to create recovery media.

Basic reminder functionality

Upon installation, the HP Backup and Recovery Manager will remind the user to create the Recovery Disc Set immediately to ensure that there is a backup in a place other than the primary hard drive. This reminder can be delayed for a week at a time. On the fourth display, an additional option appears that allows you to permanently disable the reminder.

Disabling the reminder message

You can control the pop-up reminder for creating recovery media.
