a simple,foolish question.
fdisk /MBR clears MBR.So when you boot the next time,Where is the bootloader(or something like that) for window$??ie,where will be the information abt 'where the window$ kernal lies' (for the sake of booting windows) lie??Need i do some thing after fdisk /MBR to uninstall linux and continue with windows.
i ask this out of curiosity and i dont plan to kick old tux from my box in the near future. this may contain some foolish elements,but afterall i am a :newbie: |
fidsk /mbr should reinstall the windows bootloader. You do know that you can just use grub to boot windows.
|
fdisk /MBR from dos is just gonna trash lilo or grub or whatever and make it so your just gonna boot straight back into windows i believe

Well,i was talking abt 'fdisk /MBR' after deleting my linux partitions(ok,i didnt mention it earlier).
So, what is the difference b/w the DOS fdisk /MBR and linux fdisk /MBR ?? |
What if I am having 2 linuxes and Windows??If i want to uninstall one of the linuxes,after deleting the respective linux partitions and fdisk /MBR from DOS,the MBR will contain windows bootloader only,isnt it??So how do i uninstall one of the linuxes??
--------------------------- This is something i need to know,because i am going to install Mandrake. |
the diffetence between dos fdisk /mbr and linux fdisk /mbr is that dos has that command and linux doesn't
if anyone know's of a way to delete the mbr in linux I would appreciate if they would post it (without any 3rd party tools) |
Probably this will do it.
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda bs=512 count=1 Read: input file is /dev/zero, output file first IDE disk, block size 512b, dump only 1 block |
I got the above thing after hitting google.
