Freeware MBR editor from DIY DataRecovery
MBRtool is a freeware DOS program designed to backup, restore and manipulate your hard disk MBR. While MBRtool is not an automatic recovery program, it will allow users to prevent data loss (due to MBR corruption) by backing up the MBR, and offers power users all the power they’ll ever need to ’mess’ with their MBR.
MBRtool Features
* Backup, verify and restore the MBR
* Backup, restore, wipe and clean track 0
* Edit or blank the MBR partition table

* Display MBR to screen or dump to file
- Do all this for either the original MBR or backups
* Create ’blank’ backup files
* Change partition attributes (active, hidden)
* Manipulate NT/2000/XP disk admin signature
