Re: [Clonezilla-live] Feature Request: Restore MBR (only)

[Steven S. <st...@nc...>]

If you mean restore MBR only (first 446 bytes in the disk, i.e. 
partition table is not included), you can do it manually:
dd if=$target_dir/${ihd}-mbr of=/dev/$ihd bs=446 count=1
Replace $target_dir (Ex. /home/partimage/2008-01-20-img/) and $ihd (Ex. 
hda) with yours.
Yes, it's possible to have another program to do that. Will try to 
include this feature in the clonezilla live menu.

Regards,
Steven.
