killmbr V1.11 (2001-02-22)

Function

Erases primary harddisk Master Boot Record hence everything on your harddisk. Returns status using ERRORLEVEL.

Type

External

Format

killmbr [/c] | [/d] | [/e] | [/f] | [/y]

Only one parameter at a time is allowed. /c means the first hard drive, /d the second, /e the third and /f the fourth hard drive.

If /y is given, killmbr doesn't ask for confirmation (batch mode) which is only supported for compatibility reasons.

Please use echo y | killmbr>nul: instead (will require write access to a temporary directory)

Comments

This program is designed for automatic installation disks.

Example

echo y | killmbr>nul:
fdisk<hdfdisk.txt

This example erases your entire harddisk, then writes a standard Microsoft MS-DOS Master Boot Record and then calls fdisk fed by a input file. hdfdisk.txt contains exactly those characters normally given using a keyboard to partition your harddisk (incl. key Esc).
