gives enough room for the MBR, but
fdisk -l /dev/sdb
/dev/sdb1 63 24981074 12490506 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
probably does not give me enough room to fit properly a MBR
I don't think so.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_boot_record#Disk_partitioning tells
us that the MBR is at the beginning of the physical drive, not in a
partition. If you'll scroll down, you'll also see that the MBR is still
only 512 bytes. Here's what fdisk -l has to say about the first
partition on my main hard drive:
/dev/sdb1 * 63 83885759 41942848+ c W95 FAT32 (LBA)
I assure you, there's an MBR there because it's been there since before
I installed (and switched to ) Linux.
