Quick Summary of an MBR versus a Boot Partition.
nate debian-u...@aphroland.org muc lists debian user Do SCSI disks have a MBR? I think that the MBR is just a name for the first block(s) of a disk, I don't think its "special" in any way other then being at the start of the disk. Is it just LBA=0 on the disk? does SCSI use LBA? I thought that was IDE only.

Installing in the *Expert* mode lets you choose where to install the bootloader, and which one you prefer (ie graphical LILO, character mode LILO or GRUB). but you still have to install one, and which ever you choose will promptly stomp all over the mbr. Yes, you have to install a bootloader for Linux,

install-mbr on amd64?
The MBR is the master boot record and this is the first 512 bytes of the entire disk. It contains the first stage boot up code and I think also the partition table. Correct. At this point I'm not too sure but what I think happens is that with a default MBR, the BIOS will copy the MBR into memory on startup and the

Q: Fdisk and Fdisk /MBR
If the allocation table was in the MBR then I dont think there would be a need to fdisk /mbr. Can anyone else add some insight???? The partition table is not in the MBR. The MBR contains a pointer to where the partition table is, usually the second sector of the first track. When fdisk finds a completely virgin

Do SCSI disks have a MBR (master boot record)?
Le MBR est la zone physique (c'est-à-dire les 512 premiers octets d'un disque, le secteur 0) où se situe la première parite du bootloader, c'est-à-dire la partie qui saura où trouver sur le ou les disques le bootloader à charger. C'est là, probablement, où un "détail" que j'ai omis de signaler risque de corser

What is it that you are trying to achieve that cannot be done using a conventional linux-only installation without arcane resort to some other system's version of the Master Boot Record? You're right. We need to keep Windows in one partition, one Linux installation in another partition, another Linux installation

If that doesn't work then try FDISK /MBR. True, it's not a documented switch, but I have seen it get a few hard drives back up and running. DOS writes 2 copies of the master boot record to a hard drive. What FDISK /MBR does is to get the second copy and use it to rewrite the working copy, the one that is actually

Installing LILO in MBR or in another partition
You can try booting from it and choosing the shell and then trying to run the fdisk from that environment to replace the MBR.

Now that I look mbrlabel doesn't mention mbr(8). And mbr(8) doesn't mention mbrlabel(8). Maybe it doesn't matter. How-To-Repeat: Read fdisk manual page and wonder how to find out more about mbr.

MBR Virus !!!!!!!
If your MBR sector already contains the standard MS boot code, then fdisk /mbr has no affect. This is the case most of the time, and so most of time fdisk /mbr will neither break anything nor fix anything. Here are some reasons why your MBR sector might NOT contain the standard MS boot code: 1) It's a brand new
