Not only that, but most believe they also own the master boot record.
Some are even very proactive in repartitioning the hard-drive to make
it conform to their idea of the world.
Pro tip: If your MBR ever gets blown off, it is relatively easily
fixed. First, you should make a copy of it and store this copy
somewhere safe (far from the HDD under risk).
dd if=/dev/sda of=copy_of_MBR bs=512 count=1
Then, if the MBR gets destroyed, copy the MBR back.
dd if=copy_of_MBR of=/dev/sda conv=notrunc
It also possible to reconstruct the MBR without this but it is
much more difficult.
