Hello, I would like to know how to extract the MBR to a file, and how to restore it. Also I would like to know how to do the same with the partition boot sector and OS loaders.
I think it is as follows (I remember this from somewhere): dd if=/dev/<disk/partition> of=/<file> bs=512 count=1 But I do not know: a) Is 512 the correct size for both (MBR and partition boot sectors)? b) How to extract/restore the OS loader (e.g. for WinNT/2K/XP, that is NTLDR)? c) What alternative commands are available for doing this (extact/restore)? I would also like to know more about boot sectors and OS loaders. I would appreciate some links. Thanks and Best Regards, Ale _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
