	"fdisk /mbr" (the MS-DOS fdisk, not the Linux fdisk BTW) will not
	restore the single partition on the disk. It MAY restore the normal
	DOS boot record. I know of no way to enlarge you DOS partition back
	to the original size to fill the disk. If I am mistaken about this
	I would be happy to know of some way to accomplish this. You will
	have to back up the data on your DOS partition, re-create the full
	size partition and re-install from backup.
