Re: Uninstallation help

There's a DEBUG script I use under dos to zero fill the Master Boot Record on 
the hard drive.  Let me include it here:

Script is not case sensitive.  Caps are used for readability only.
Type in the commands just as you see them, including spaces.
Note the blank line just before the G command.
Lines beginning with a quotation mark " represent response from the computer.
The X's represent digits that have no relevance to the script.  The four 
digits that follow the colon however are significant.
Should you receive a response that is different, STOP!  I have no information 
as to what might happen if you continue the script under those circumstance.

DEBUG

Any questions, just drop me an email.
