Every disk must have a MBR. It is created when the partition(s) is created.

Thanks for your input but ...

I bought a copy of PowerQuest's Drive Image at
the same time that I bought PowerQuest's PartitionMagic 7.0.
But, ended up liking PM7 much more than Drive Image.


Yeah, but does PM7 make a bootable OS for you?
Probably has something to do with not copying the
MBR.


I tried 'xxCopy' but didn't like it.

And, I don't use WinXP.


In that case a copy of Drive Image 2002 should work fine.
You can purchase it online for $13 or $14. Check it out
using Froogle.Google.com or NextTag.com (see

All that I wrote except the part about multi-booting (and
perhaps not the part about keeping the clone isolated
during its 1st boot-up) applies to Win98.
