This program is used to create Microsoft compatible boot records.
-It is useful when using Linux to restore a backup of a
-reference Microsoft Windows installation.
+It is able to do the same as Microsoft "fdisk /mbr" to a hard disk.
+It is also able to do the same as Microsoft "sys d:" to a floppy or
+FAT partition except that it does not copy any system files,
+only the boot record is written.
-Version 2.3.0 added experimental support for NTFS boot record.
-This functionality is mostly useful to identify Windows 7
-NTFS boot records. Writing an NTFS Windows 7 boot record
-will most likely not be of much use.
-(Otherwise excellent for bootable Windows 7 install USB).
