Possibly? Though, I should have also suggested that you check bytes
at 0x1FE and 0x1FF:
# dd if=/dev/sda bs=2 count=1 skip=255 2>/dev/null | od -x
0000000 aa55
0000002
Those bytes are a signature that indicates that a boot loader is
present, at least by convention, according to wikipedia :)
OK, but since this drive is my only backup drive, I feel
I cannot run dd to clobber those 466 bytes :(
Too risky, even if I feel nothing can go wrong, but ...
murphy's law ....
Re: sda1: here is the output:
