The (undocumented) fdisk /mbr command replaces the MBR software of the first harddisk with the standard MS-DOS software. It does not alter the partition table in any way, so all present partitions will remain accessible. It also doen't change anything _in_ those partitions. If a boot manager program such as LILO was installed in the MBR, it will of course be removed (in fact, this is one thing the command is often used for).
