/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.
the problem is that Patrick doe snot understand the differnece between
MBR and the different grub-stages which has nothing to do with
partitions at all
Yes, that is right, I am sorry for the confusion.
