Not true. fdisk /mbr doesn't touch the partition table, just the
*rest* of the MBR. The partition table includes an "active" flag on
one partition, and the MS-DOS MBR uses this flag to decide which
partition to boot. I suppose it's conceivable, but doubtful, that
Windows ME would forget to set its own active flag.
