The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Copy MBR From old drive to new

Asked by hqrom in Operating Systems Miscellaneous

Tags: mbr, copy

ok the case is this :
don't ask me how but what i have is this:
HDD IDE 0:0 is boot (holding the mbr & active partition) [nsldr, boot.ini, ntdetect.com]
HDD IDE 0:1 is system (holding the windows & co folder)

now what i want to do is copy just the mbr from IDE 0:0 to IDE 0:1 without the partition table or file structure
i looked at http://www.partition-recovery.com/quest4.htm but that restores the Master Boot Record, Partition Table and Boot Sectors, and if i'll do that i'll destroy the existing file table (and my win dir) on IDE 0:1

to make it clear : now i have 2 HDD's in my system i need to leave just one > what im doing is copying the mbr from HD1 to HD2 then setting HD2 as master (ie making it HD1 again) the question is how to transfer "elegantly" the mbr ??? (techical details would be welcome)

tnx, max.
