That is the best way, yes. Note that it's not the mbr being overwritten, rather it's the post-mbr gap. Details here: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/ucgi/~cjwatson/blosxom/2010/08/28 . Also note that grub 1.99 will be mostly immune to applications overwriting single sectors of its core.img: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2010-09/msg00247.html > > Thanks in advance. > Nagaraj. > > > _______________________________________________ > Help-grub mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-grub > > -- Jordan Uggla (Jordan_U on irc.freenode.net) _______________________________________________ Help-grub mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-grub
