Removing mbr under 9front

During Installation of 9front and getting an Error because of an already present fat partition you need to remove the mbr.

The changing of the partitions would not work => explicit removing of mbr is needed.

To do so please use the following code for overwriting the first sectors and removing mbr on your disk sdXX. You can do this during the Installation of 9front in another window.

Attention: All data will be removed from drive! (No warranty at all)


dd -if /dev/zero -of /dev/sdXX -bs 512 -count 2048


After that you can proceed with your installation and the warning of an existing fat partition should have been gone.
