removing GRUB from MBR
I currently have a my computer set up to dual-boot Windows XP and Fedora Core 3. Each OS is on its own hdd(XP on the master and fedora on the slave). I am in the process of building a new computer w/ a single SATA drive. The cd that came w/ the SATA drive has a utility to copy everything from my old hdd onto the SATA drive. I would like to do this, since reinstalling everything would take some time. However I would need to use the "fixmbr" command to restore the MBR. The hard drive that contains XP has 2 partitions. My questions are:
a) would "fixmbr" mess up my partitions? b) would I use "fixmbr" on both partitions? c) is Fedora Core 3 compatible w/ SATA? Hopefully somebody can answer these questions. I would appreciate any feedback, comments, or questions |
a. No, "fixmbr" shouldn't affect your partitions. I've not had any trouble with my partitions when using it.
b. You should only need to run "fixmbr" once, as there's only one MBR AFAIK. |
