How to copy bootsector from hard-disk? - Kurence - 27.12.2009

Is it possible to copy bootsector from hard disk?
If it is not in hard disk then is it possible anyway? :P

I don't think the bootsector is even on the HDD, I think the MBR is. But why would you want to copy that?

I have got 2 totally same hard-disks - the same developer , the same capacity.
I want to copy everything including bootsectors from 1 to second :P
And i want to be able to boot from that second

Ok, but I still don't understand why you want to copy the bootsector...

^Same. Also, the Bootsector is a command for your hardware, not a software file.

If you are trying to "dual boot", then you are asking the wrong questions.

And the mbr is in the null sector of your boot sector -.-'

I have solved it - ultraiso >bootable>extract bootsector from floppy/HDD... :P
Then load everything into iso file and write iso to hard-disk...

That's good, but what is the point?

Don't worry about it
