| 52280 | 2002-06-03 21:33:00 | can anyone tell me how to revert the master boot record of a drive back to 'normal' after a linux install whoopsie? i have a big master drive with ME and data partitions and a secondary drive that i installed linux and win2k on to play around with. problem was i accidentally let grub install on the primary drive mbr instead of the drive with linux on it so now i can't boot my main ME partition without the other drive (removable) being in the system. how can i revert the mbr on the large primary drive back to normal WITHOUT wrecking the partitions on the drive? thanks in advance |
