You can capture a binary dump of the first 512 bytes with the following command:
dd if=/path-to-your-disk-device of=/path-to-file-to-store-dump bs=512 count=1
CAUTION: Be very careful to make sure that "if" points to the input device
and"of" points to the output filename.If these are swapped, your system will fail to boot because
the Master Boot Record will have been overwritten. A human readable dump of the first 512 bytes can be obtained with: hexdump -C -n 512 /path-to-your-disk-device Regards, Curtis H wrote:
Hi Curtis, Curtis Gedak wrote on 20090305:It does appear that there is a problem with Ubuntu's version 1.8.9 of parted.Hopefully someone from Ubuntu, or the Parted team will be able to help.One item that would be useful to these folks would be test the latest development version of parted with this problem. A link to the GIT version of parted can be found on the parted web site.http://www.gnu.org/software/parted/download.shtml~/tmp/parted/parted$ sudo ./parted /dev/sda2 unit s print Error: /dev/sda2: unrecognised disk label This is from GNU Parted 1.8.8.1.127-bcc7 # git branch * master regards, Hans Lambermont ps. please CC me as I'm not subscribed to this list.
