I have attached the MBR from both old & new drives.
They kdiff3 entirely identical until the partition table. There is a table difference that could possibly matter to W7's bootloader. The old HD's extended type is the standard 0x05, while the new is M$'s abortive 0x0f. Try changing the new to 0x05.
Actually, that's backwards, at least according to fdisk. I don't know why the old one is 0x0f, unless I might have created it with Windows and not Linux. The current extended partition was created by GParted. Regardless, Windows is on a primary partition (sda2) and not in the extended. Will changing that damage the contents of the extended partition? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
