Thanks for the lead Tim, all is well now - I can now boot windows and start my Linux install again.

Still going fishing though.

Tomorrow is another day.

Windows is on HDD1 and partition 1 and it is active.

I used Partition Magic boot disk to get access to drive, hid the active partition on HDD1 and set 
active partition on HDD2 - rebooted - and then reversed the previous changes.

Then rebooted from a dos boot disk - got access to C: drive and then :

Tried fdisk /mbr again and it worked this time.

Regards Arie
