Extracting the MBR
To see the contents of your MBR, use this command:
# dd if=/dev/hda of=/tmp/mbr.bin bs=512 count=1
# od -xa mbr.bin
The dd
command, which needs to be run from root, reads the first 512 bytes from /dev/hda (the first Integrated Drive Electronics, or IDE drive) and writes them to the mbr.bin
file. The od
command prints the binary file in hex and ASCII formats.
