What is ms-sys FOR LINUX?

ms-sys

ms-sys is a handy Linux program designed to write boot records that are compatible with Microsoft. It works similar to the Microsoft commands like "fdisk /mbr" for hard disks or "sys d:" for floppy disks and FAT partitions. The cool part? It doesn't copy any system files; it just writes the boot record.
