This behavior is by design and documented. If you want to use fdos'
fdisk then you should take advantage of it's features and read before
you use it una

Hi Johnson,
I've always found FreeDOS FDISK works exactly as I'd expect both on new
and used hard drives including the option to install and remove the MBR.
Are you sure you read the readme that comes with it? All the machines on
our network started life with FreeDOS FDISK.
As I understand it,
Hi,
Actually it's not a BUG, FDISK always FORGET to write the "Master Boot
Record" to the hard disk, just test 2 hard disk this afternoon.
That's why the original hard disk still boot up showing "LILO".
Hope someone can patch the FDISK, it should be easy to fix this minor
problem.
Rgds,
Johnso
