dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda bs=512 count=1
That will erase any MBR. If your drive is not /dev/hda then please use
the proper one (such as /dev/hde or /dev/sda or what have you)
Please remember also, that Windows REQUIRES the use of the first Primary
partition and it *WILL* assume it is the ONLY operating system to be on
the machine. This WILL cause you difficulty.
But you can then install Etch, and be happy.
