Ono je to lepsi, nez pak v blogu brecet, ze jsem o neco prisel.Tak, tak. Třeba jako já zrovna teď.
sfdisk -d /dev/hda > part.tablePěkný návod naleznete na http://www.linuxnetmag.com/en/issue9/m9recovery1.html a s úspěchem jsem ho již několikrát použil.
- the bootcode
- the volume bytes
- the partition table
- the signature bytesThe bootcode : this part of the MBR gets read by the computer BIOS when the computer is started. When the computer finishes it's own startup procedures (getting the disks spinning, doing some checks) and gets ready to start the operating system, the bootcode in the MBR is read first. This allows the computer to interpret the rest of the MBR. The volume bytes : these are 4 bytes that are located after the bootcode and just before the partition table. Windows 2000 and Windows XP use these 4 bytes to identify the mountable volumes on the harddisk. If these bytes are changed or erased from the MBR, Windows 2000/XP will go through a simple hardware detection round that will re-identify all the volumes on the disk. This is done during the next Windows startup after changing the volume bytes. Driveletters assigned to volumes might change after this. This goes for simple volumes, i have at this point no information on the effect of removing the volume bytes when using dynamic volumes. The partition table : this is a sequence of 64 bytes (4 x 16) that identify the first 4 (or less) primary partitions on a harddisk. There is space for identifying 4 partitions. Each partition-identification is made up of 16 bytes that describe a number of things about the partition, such as : where it starts, what type it is, how big it is, is it an active partition or not, etc. One of these 4 partition descriptions can be used to describe an extended partition, which itself can then contain logical drives. The logical drives are not described in the MBR. An active partition is the partition from which the Operating System is started. This must be a primary partition, and there can only be 1 primary partition active at any time. If there are for instance only 2 partitions on a harddisk, the first 32 bytes of the partition table (2 x 16) would contain the descriptions of those partitions. The other 32 bytes would contain all zeros. So deleting a partition consists of putting zeros in the chosen partition description. The signature bytes : these are 2 bytes that are used to signify an important sector. They can be found trailing the MBR, but there are other sectors that contain these bytes as well. If they are not trailing the MBR the computer will not be able to read the MBR (because it will not be recognised as an important sector). So, the MBR consists of :
- 440 bytes of bootcode, followed by
- 4 bytes with volume information, followed by
- 2 bytes that are (as far as i know) not used, followed by
- 64 bytes that contain the partition descriptions, followed by
- 2 bytes that "close up" the MBRThis makes a total of 512 bytes. A word about Unix based Operating Systems : The main difference between a Unix based MBR and a Windows based MBR is the bootcode. Unix based bootcode has the ability to look for partition information outside the MBR. So it should be clear that replacing Unix bootcode with Windows bootcode could render a system unstartable.
