On machines with Windows (NT/2000/XP in my case) FDISK /MBR from a DOS
boot disk has always done the job for me, but I don't know if it works
on non-Windows'ed disks. I've also heard reference to "zeroing out the
MBR" but I don't know the actual process.

What are you wanting to do with them? If you're using them for Linux or
*shudder* Windows installs the MBR will get fixed anyway, and if you're
just using them for storage the MBR doesn't matter does it?
