two notes here:
you can use the /mbr switch, but if you are doing it off the hard drive, its
useless. of course you'd have to boot off a clean floppy. i know in the case
of pcdos7, sometimes you can run ibmavsh.exe which will immobolize some
viruses like the D3 one. in that case you can run ibmavsh, run /mbr and then
cycle the power and it's clean. in the case of monkey virus 2, if you run /mbr
you'll lose everything on the hard drive!
