Hello ,

Thanks to you all for trying to help. fixmbr and the other ideas wouldn't
work. I could not access the drive. I had to disconnect the other drives. It
then tried to boot to the suspect drive. The computer ran chkdsk and booted
normally. I reconnected the other drives, rebooted and voila, no more MBR 2
message. Not sure what I did but problem solved! Thanks for trying folks.
Much appreciated.

Russell
