Are there any tools for working with and moving or copying the MBR?
My machine has 2 PATA drives (hda & hdb) and 2 SATA drives (sda &
sdb). The
MBR is on hda,
Actually, its on every drive.
Not exactly, there is space for it, it's the first sector, but 512
bytes of zeroes doesn't really qualify.
the MBR includes the primary partition table in addition to the stage 1
boot code.
except when the drive's not partitioned. New drives are not, and I don't
know a reason you must: I'm sure this will work fine:
mke2fs /dev/hda
