Hi, Suppose my hard disks are setup as: IDE (Master) /dev/hda1 -- ext3 -- 10 GB /dev/hda2 -- ext3 -- 100 GB /dev/hda3 -- ext3 -- 50 GB
SATA (connected to SATA 1 controller on the mobo) /dev/sda1 -- ext3 -- 50GB -- / /dev/sda2 -- ext3 -- 500 MB -- /boot /dev/sda3 -- ext3 -- 100 GB -- /home So, the GRUB oncfig files are in /dev/sda2 (/boot/grub). I am assuming that grub is installed in /dev/sda2. So, where is the MBR? Is it on the first track of the first partition of the first hard disk, ie /dev/hda1? If so, suppose I format /dev/hda1 will the MBR be gone implying that I cannot reboot m y system? What is the safest way to partition the disks so that, if sometime later I install someother OS (Solaris/FreeBSD/Anyother GNU/Linux but not Windows) the MBR is not disturbed and I can use it to boot into the existing Debian. -- Regards PK -------------------------------------- http://counter.li.org #402424 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
