But it'd be better to reinstall grub.
If grub is there.
Both bs=440 count=1 and bs=440 count=1 would do the same: copy the first 440 bytes.
But the 440 vs 446 difference worries me.
A legitimate concern. AFAIK the last 2 bytes are not used and usually null. But the first 4 bytes are the disk signature and have been used for different purposes since Windows NT. On a Windows disk better to leave it alone if possible, or at the least know what's there and its purpose before copying it. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
