FIXBOOT is a utility designed to replace the boot sector on a 9 sector/track,
40 track, double sided 360k diskette. It is useful in situations where the
target diskette's boot sector has been damaged, or erased.
FIXBOOT can be run from either a floppy drive or a hard disk. It is invoked
by typing "D:FIXBOOT <CR>", where 'D:' is an optional drive letter
specification.
FIXBOOT will prompt the user for the drive in which the target diskette
will be placed. It will then ask the user to ensure that the target diskette
is indeed in the target drive. Once the user has indicated readiness by
pressing a key, FIXBOOT will attempt to replace the boot sector on the target
diskette.
A message will be output to the console indicating whether or not the boot
sector replacement was successful and asking the user to press any key to exit
the utility.
