Ok I admit it I need help. I have ultraedit32, a nice 32 bit hex
afterI want to look at offset 0x1be. This is where partition info is stored
mythe MBR as I understand it. What do I load to look at the code. That's
problem. All ultraedit wants to do is load files from the filesystem.
This is an area where the Unix design is much, much cleaner than Windows:
in Unix, partitions and other devices use the same APIs as files do, so
any tool can operate on either one without having to know the difference.
One possible answer is to put the disk in a Unix or Linux machine and
then access /dev/hd1 (or /dev/rdsk/c0d1t0p0 or whatever) directly, just
as if it were a file. You could then use "dd" to copy it to a file
and transfer that file to Windows if you prefer to use a Windows-based
hex editor you're familiar with.
By the way, what are you trying to accomplish?

Your right. dd does work. I want to change manually partition
signatures. Change 0x83 to 0x0c for example.
