could u guess OS installed by looking at MBR?


hi all , i m just reframing my last question in this new thread,

Is there any way of guessing the Operating sys intalled on ur hard disk by reading MBR?

i read somewhere that MBR table contains the info about the file sys of those partitions and other info like size. start and end, etc and not the OS !
