Custom Master Boot Record Creator
Version 1.00
Copyright (C) 1993
Release Date 01/25/93
Author Mark Anderson
Overview
I was told at one time that if you sold a disk to someone that had a boot record
created by format then you where in violation of copyright laws. I just figured
I would rather be safe than sorry so I wrote this program. It will place a
small custom message that is displayed when the user tries to boot.
Using CustMBR
Using a text editor create a file named MBR_STR.TXT. Make sure it is in the
same directory as custmbr and then run custmbr. Custmbr will request the drive
letter of the drive who's MBR you would like replaced. If you press any key
other than A or B the program will simply stop. If you did select either drive
A or B custmbr will place the custom master boot record on the appropriate disk
I only have an A drive but it should work also with the B drive. It only works
with 512 byte sectors on preformatted disks also.
Disclaimer
I take no responsibility for any damage that is caused by this program. This is
regardless of what causes the damage or what is damaged. I have used it several
times on my computer but any time you run a program there is that chance that
something will go wrong.
