Removing your Master Boot Record (MBR)

Filed under: Snippets — jorge @ 09:42

Removing MBR (including the partition table):

# dd if=/dev/null of=/dev/sdX bs=512 count=1

Removing MBR (excluding the partition table):

# dd if=/dev/null of=/dev/sdX bs=446 count=1

sdX is the device you want to remove the MBR of (like a USB-stick).
