If the OS wont boot up, it'll automatically boot up into a special
mode, which would allow some utlities to be run - including restoring
the system.

Windows multi-boot doesn't use the MBR? Of course MS' website only
describes how to set up Windows multi-boot with MS OSes... Are there
any websites which talk about using Windows multiboot with Linux?

Thanks
