I dont know what you are trying to do. But if you want to play with boot sector ( the first 512 byte of hard disk ), you have to have proper privilege. In Linux you have to be root. In windows you have to be admin. If windows does not resist you, Its a bad operating system. Its not a windows list. So I can tell more about it.
You can get boot sector by $ sudo dd if=/dev/hda bs=1 count=512 of=boot.sector.hda You can save this boot.sector.hda file in other media like CD-ROM. if for some reason your boot sector is corrupted you can boot by livecd and restore the boot sector by $ sudo dd if=/path/to/boot.sector.hda bs=1 count=512 of=/dev/hda Here "hda" is the first hard disk. It can be sda too. -- A K M Mokaddim http://talk.cmyweb.net http://twitter.com/shiplu Stop Top Posting !! বাংলিশ লেখার চাইতে বাংলা লেখা অনেক ভাল -- Ubuntu Bangladesh mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bd
