rimmi2002 Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Hi I have a stable Kalyway 10.5.2 and Windows XP running on two different partitions on same HD with chain0 method. I wanted to try out other boot loaders to see if I can make MAC my default. Before I go messing around with my boot configuration I was wondering is there any program out there that will allow me save my current boot configuration and allow be to restore it if I screw things up...which tends to happen quite often when I start messing with new things. Thanks for your help.

fourty2 Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 why don't you boot from a linux boot-cd and save the mbr with dd? dd if=/dev/[sda] of=/[saveto]/mbr.iso bs=512 count=1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/139206-is-there-a-program-that-can-save-and-restore-an-old-boot-configuration/#findComment-985740 Share on other sites More sharing options...

westwaerts Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 you can restore with time machine. you can do it with carbon copy cloner. ( which is one of the best backup programs) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/139206-is-there-a-program-that-can-save-and-restore-an-old-boot-configuration/#findComment-993286 Share on other sites More sharing options...
