If you're using FDISK then it it YOU who is trying to write to the
boot sector so you can say yes to this prompt.

It is only your BIOS which has been set to intercept writes to the MBR
because it normally is not changed except by viruses or boot managers
or FDISK and the latter two are not used on a regular basis.
