Restore Win95 MBR and remove NTLDR

I accidently began loading NT onto my
Windows95 C drive. I aborted the NT setup
a few seconds after it began copying files
to my C drive. Unfortunately the setup
process must have modified the Master Boot Record on the C drive and now when I attempt
to boot Windows 95 the following message
appears: BOOT: Couldn't find NTLDR.

Is there a utility that I can use to restore
the MBR so that it boots Windows 95?

Boot from a Win95 startup disk, the type the following:

sys c:

You'll now boot straight into Win95.

Cheers.

fdisk/mbr from the boot disk should restore it without data loss
