FIXBOOT.
--------
FixBoot can be used as a generic utility to install a standard boot
sector to floppies from 360 kbyte to 2.88 mbyte. The floppy to be
treated should be placed in drive A or B and the first argument
following FIXBOOT on the command line should be either A: or B:.
FixBoot will usually identify the size of the floppy and install an
appropriate boot sector. In the instance that the diskette is
inaccessible, such as after being infected by certain boot infectors,
the /S (size) switch can be used. FixBoot will prompt for a floppy
size. Just select from 1 to 5, according to the floppy size.
FixBoot installs a standard MS-DOS 4+ boot sector, and the floppy will
be bootable. If PC-DOS is needed, you can use the /IBM switch to
install a PC-DOS boot sector instead.
