Boot manager backup
Hello:
i have to reinstall my other OS, but i do not wish to lose the boot manager, is there a way to back it up or install it, with out the need to reinstall ubuntu? thanks in advance |
This will put the contents of the Master Boot Record of /dev/hda in a file /hda-mbr.dd.
Code:
dd if=/dev/hda of=/hda-mbr.dd bs=512 count=1 conv=notrunc,noerror Code:
dd if=/hda-mbr.dd of=/dev/hda bs=512 count=1 conv=notrunc,noerror |
Not worth the trouble IMHO - just as easy to re-install. Given that the partitions may change during an install, "bs=1 count=446" could be better in both commands.
