I used dd to clone the XP c:\ drive and want to use dd to restore XP on a new drive. Will dd copy the MBR to the new drive?
Not unless you want it to. The MBR is not part of any partition. Unless you dd a whole disk, you must specify the MBR explicitly to dd if you want it copied. Unless the two disks have identical sector counts and sizes, that's usually a bad idea. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
