If you run the Sector 32 only one then you won't end up with a bunch of nulls......<br /><br />Regards update-grub I can't honestly say as I am no expert in that field. Think it all depends on what is already installed in the boot sector/partition table.<br /><br />I just did the above and it worked :-)ReetPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11579997855745793363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8050045674944354435.post-19495299131708170962013-07-25T16:19:10.205+02:002013-07-25T16:19:10.205+02:00Where's the "grub-install /dev/sda" ...Where's the "grub-install /dev/sda" ? I don't see that in your list of commands. Shouldn't that be done just before update-grub? It seems like your MBR would still be a bunch of nulls after the above commands. Yet feedback comments don't mention any problems. What am I missing?Marnixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13364680306673157523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8050045674944354435.post-85000665469017693792012-05-30T01:58:23.564+02:002012-05-30T01:58:23.564+02:00Sorry for the late response - trying to figure out...Sorry for the late response - trying to figure out to comment on your own post !!<br /><br />Martin, just check the backup file and compare it with a newer version after zeroing the drive. Should find a new dd backup should show a pile of noughts ! If it is, no need to look further !<br /><br />Lucid, thanks. Me too - neat tool that is often forgotten or overlooked.<br /><br />B.

I have been looking for how to rid off flexnet without wipe out disk almoust half a day (especially not to use low level formatting - quite danger operation).<br />if please anybody has further information how to check MBR/63 sectors if it is clean - I mean if it is without any other DRM or similar stupid stuff, please post it here. I would really much appreciate it.<br /><br />Kind Regards,<br />Martinmartinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13828135651673131193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8050045674944354435.post-28644087469020177542011-11-03T22:36:24.375+01:002011-11-03T22:36:24.375+01:00Assuming you have mounted the correct disk/partiti...Assuming you have mounted the correct disk/partitions/directories then I guess the answer is that there must be something wrong with your installation somehow.<br /><br />Can you boot with a live distro & have a look to see that everything is in place ?ReetPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11579997855745793363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8050045674944354435.post-31852664271649906722011-10-17T21:28:58.081+02:002011-10-17T21:28:58.081+02:00I had this "chroot: failed to run command `/b...I had this "chroot: failed to run command `/bin/bash': No such file or directory" when I run "sudo chroot /mnt".<br /><br />Help me please!Paulo Vítorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02173732078288602660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8050045674944354435.post-67438252854992798332011-07-14T14:11:28.238+02:002011-07-14T14:11:28.238+02:00Thanks, I had the same problem, now it's solve...Thanks, I had the same problem, now it's solved thanks again :)Bhaskarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17864850803117535120noreply@blogger.com
