Hi. I have Slackware and need to copy the master boot record. Do you know
what device I can read and how much data I should read? I think it is 2k
in lenght (I want partition infomration).
I will use a dd command.
Thanks,
Mike
As always, get rid of the _REMOVE_ from my e-mail address.

I need to restore the Master Boot Record on an ide drive in dos to fix a
corrupted Linux install. It's been such a long time since I had to do
