Raf,
Please don't top post, it makes it difficult to follow the thread.
Next, do you happen to have a 2nd hard drive in the machine you
are trying to boot
(perhaps that has the Windows boot loader on
it?)? How big is the drive you are trying to dd? Try any one of
these to get to a non-bootable drive:
To wipe just the MBR:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/foo bs=512 count=1
Just remember - this will delete the partition table as well, so you
may want to write down the partition table data before doing this!
To wipe all of track zero:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/foo bs=512 count=63
"Zero out" the entire drive:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/foo
You'll need to replace foo with the appropriate device (hda, sda,
etc).
