Thank you to one and all that chimed in on the partition discussion. We might all agree that there is no "one size fits all" configuration.

I am trying to resurrect a system where underlying hardware has gone kaput (heck, it's an eight year old kit that's been running 24/7 the entire time. The exact resurrection is not the question.

When one cobbles together a system composed of hard disks that come from all manner origins, what determines _which_ master boot record takes precedence??? It would be convenient (but apparently wrong) that /dev/sda would be the primary mbr (sound the klaxon).

Neither wishful thinking nor psychic powers seem to allow me to take control of this process. Anybody got any tips?

Howard
