I used OnTrack Disk Manager & got the boot sector fixed... sorta. It works but I can't run the Western Digital or the MaxBlast partition proggies.
As for the booting off of a CD, that's a no go for now because this is a real old PC & the BIOS doesn't support it. I am trying to do a BIOS update & we'll see what happens.
I was originally able to boot CDs from the boot sector the Western Digital partition proggy had created but now that's trashed & I can't use the programs again.
