i tried it and still have the windows boot manager when my HDD boot :(
instead of having "system not found" (which is the typicall message when
boot sector is not found in windows)
any other idea than "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=446 count=1" ? i also
tried with bs=512, but still not successfull :(

Hi Patrick,
in fact i can delete everything on this HDD as i formatted it...backup was
done before :)
i just found also something similar.
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=446 count=1
where /dev/sda should be replaced by my HDD value.
