[nflug] Disk Image/Restore

[Jonathan Skulski]

Pete, you are posting information that is incorrect. I was trying to
correct it, there's no need to get so defensive.

You said:

"yes, that command is just blanking the mbr just like fixmbr (xp) and
fdisk /mbr (dos/98)"

"If we say, put xp on a drive that previously had
grub on the mbr, we could ghost, dd, tar the xp copy onto the drive and
then it would fail to boot UNTIL we blank the mbr."

This is wrong, a mbr of all zeros WILL NOT boot windows. fixmbr and
fdisk /mbr do not just blank out the mbr. Like i said before: "dd
if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda count=1 bs=512" is not the same thing.

Your misinformation can be as relevant as you want, but that doesn't
make it correct. Maybe you should get back to uninstalling and
reinstalling distributions.
