install-mbr vs lilo
Mathias Koerber math...@koerber.org comp os linux hardware Hi all, I have just taken out my old Nakamichi MBR-7 7-CD changer from longtime storage and am trying to use it under RH 7.2 (kernel 2.4 18).

MBR Problem
If the HDD does not have an Overlay, or if the Overlay is not in use and does not use the 63 sector offset (most haven't used them since about 1995), fdisk /mbr shouldn't hurt anything. It simply builds and writes a standard DOS Boot Record. If an Overlay is present, doing an fdisk /mbr simply replaces the

MBR Editing!
Mniemam, że nie zaczął instalować WXP na partycji z W98, bo to raczej zły pomysł, dlatego uważam, że zmianom uległ jedynie zapis w MBR i zapisy na dodatkowej partycji, która przed próbą instalacji była pusta. Oczywiście mogę się mylić. Komibinujesz pod gorke. W bootsektorze ma ntloadera i to wszystko.

address of the mbr ?
Error code 1 The "mbr" file indeed does not exist in /usr/src/sys/boot/i386/mbr. It is however present in /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/boot/i386/mbr. That is the right place for it to be, I don't know why things are out of sync for you. How are you running installworld? (ie, what is the exact command line, etc.

They are slightly different but doing the same task, clear the bootsignature in the MBR of the first harddisk if that signature is present and restore it when not present. Take care you have a tested bootable floppy at hand with this program to be able to restore the signature later when you want to use the

MBR
Hi, To my knowledge, only ONE operating system can be active at any given point of time on MBR. I installed the following OS in the following Order (all in different partitions): 1) Win 98 SE (C:) 2) Win2K Adv Server (D:) 3) RH Linux 9.0 During (1), Win98 was in MBR and was booting Win98.

Restoring MBR on C: drive with NFTFS
(I've given him a copy of Fprot but I'm not sure if this checks the HD MBR) Frankly, this doesn't sound like a Master Boot Sector virus. It sounds like a hardware error: RAM loose or bad; CPU fan not spinning; Badly seated cards; Power supply faulty - that sort of thing. Formatting doesn't remove MBR viruses.

Is MBR "erased" during format ?
Sector 0 includes the standard MBR boot code (roughly 440 bytes, give or take), the DiskID (4 bytes), and the master partition table (64 bytes). The danger of backing up the entire 512 bytes of sector 0 is that it includes the partition table. If the partition table has changed since the backup was made,

Will fdisk /mbr recover MBR on NTFS boot drive?
Hi, I often read articles which warn users not to install lilo in the MBR if they plan to reinstall Windows frequently. This is because windows tend to overwrite the mbr and virtually deletes your linux on the other partition. However, I have a friend who installed System Commander 2000 in his MBR.
