add mbr to partition image

[isama]

hello all,

A while ago i've made an image of my windows partition using the following command:

dd if=/dev/sda3 of=Desktop/windowsbackup.img

Now i am trying to netboot my machine. I've got everything figured out, but I need an image wich has an mbr; so I want to add an mbr to this image.

This sounds like it's possible, so my question is: "How?"

Thanx for your time,

isama

well, i've been searching (i had searched before starting this thread but apparently not enough :P ) and found this:

so all i had to do is get a windows mbr and copy it with the image to a third file. so i booted up knoppix on my mom's windows pc and got the dd pocketknife out of my pocket

and as i type this my server box is working on it. so i hope it works

thanks for your time, isama
