The need for bravery can be averted by making a backup copy of the entire sector zero, and then storing that image file off-system: dd if=/dev/YOUR_DRIVE of=/tmp/mbr.img bs=512 count=1 The point is, if necessary, this file can be copied back (using dd) to sector zero using a live distro. -- Rick Moen "Use 'quirky' to describe potentially dangerous crazy r...@linuxmafia.com people that you don't want to upset."
