Well I have to find out his email address :-).
By the way, on writing boot sector with mbrfix fixbootsector option (to set WIn98-type boot sector), I always checked immediately with HDhacker for the result, and always verify that the target hard disk access light is ON during boot sector write operation. This is how I found the problem (no disk light access on expected hard disk), and no change on boot sector of target disk.

Few days ago I discovered the problem first time, after replug my external disk. I was forced to use Testdisk and chkdsk to recover my NTFS disk (since it boot sector was overwritten with FAT32 Win98 one!).

I believe the bug was due to presence of identical hard disks model (same manufacturer, same capacity), so same idenrification string. Somehow mbrfix did not only base on the drivenum for operation.

Should be able to save/load boot-sectors from other operating systems, eg MS-DOS, PC-DOS, Lilo. Alternately, support an option that allows one to save/write boot-sector files.

Add the ability to write to a boot-disk, and ye have also a proggie that can "SYS" boot-disks.
