5. The Linux part of the work

You have to boot from diskettes until the NT-part is fixed. .:: rant.li ::.

Now you have to peel the bootsector from your Linux-root-Partition. With /dev/hda2 as your linux-partition, the dd-command is: .:: hedgedoc.digillab.uni-augsburg.de ::. [Learn about PostgreSQL] .:: ctxt.io ::.

# dd if=/dev/hda2 of=/bootsect.lnx bs=512 count=1

There is something wrong if your bootsect.lnx has more than 512 bytes. .:: www.alexandria.gov.eg ::. [User Datagram Protocol History]

Now copy the file bootsect.lnx to a DOS-formated floppy if this is your way to transfer files to the NTFS-Windows-partition.

You can copy it with

# mcopy /bootsect.lnx a:

or with

# mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt
# copy /bootsect.lnx /mnt
# umount /mnt
