Removing bootsector from USB

[spleenharvester]

Basically, I've been a moron. In Windows RE I accidentally wrote a bootsector to my multiboot stick, and now any attempts to boot from it just result in "BOOTMGR is missing, press any key to restart".

All the ISOs and files are still on there and it took forever to make (with YUMI, syslinux/GRUB). Is there any way to recover it without a wholesale diskpart clean?

Thanks

Supposedly removing libcom32.c32 and ldlinux.sys from /multiboot/ will force YUMI to reinstall syslinux but I tried something else beforehand that mucked it up completely, so I am just going to rebuild the stick.

Windows is weird about the MBR. THere's a dd.exe utility available for win but it refuses to wipe the first 512 bytes where the MBR is. Some kind of drivers thing in the OS.

Not such problem with dd on linux but if you can't get into that then on windows theres the program win32diskimager. Use that to burn an '0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00' file. At least 512 bytes or larger... that aught to do it.
