manager to install.
Notes:
1. After running this tool, the applications that are using MBR will be useless. For
example: SafeGuard Easy, SafeBoot, and MBR version of Computrace.
2. Run before installing Rescue and Recovery.
3. Use the cleanmbr.exe for DOS and the cleanmbr32.exe for Windows.
4. After running DOS CleanMBR, run FDISK /MBR; it will put on the MBR.
