The MBR is NOT on any partition or drive letter, it is a section of code BEFORE the partition table.


yes, yes... but it helps to refer to it as just a part of a drive (as in physical drive letter) so ppl arent as easyily confused...

but Computer Guru is right... the mobo looks foer this first, then it loads (into ram, i think) then boots the beginning of windows (or linux..etc) which continues from there.

yeah, no drive letter but it would be nice to have some stats when you run defrag on it.
