I don't mean that the PC won't recognize it I mean that it might be
interpreted slightly differently from PC to PC.  The number of heads,
cylinders, sectors, tracks, etc. might calculate a different drive
capacity.  I don't know if that would impact the boot sector at all.  You
would probably be safe.  It's kind of like putting on a clean pair of
underwear in the morning.  You may not *need* to do it but you feel better
knowing that you did.  <g>
