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.
