Copying or replacing a MBR – is it possible?

by bubble_boy . Updated 15 years, 2 months ago

I just want to know if it’s possible to create a mbr on one hard disk, and somehow copy it to another hard disk, in order to get the second disk to boot.

They are both running XP Pro – and I have given the second installation the exact same details as the original one.

When booting with both disks in place, it works fine – booting into the original disk (Even though this disk is the slave & the new disk is the master).

I want to copy the MBR from one to the other, but don’t know how to go about it – e.g. What files would I need to copy ?

I hope this makes sense to you folks.

PLEASE Help me
