== Back up the Master Boot Record ==
The MBR contains a pointer to the operating system that's loaded when the computer is powered on. We'll need a backup of the CentOS boot record because Windows will overwrite it.
* First find out what the device name is for your hard drive. You can use the <code>blkid</code> and <code>pvs</code> commands to guide you to the device name. For example a partition /dev/hda6 will be on the drive /dev/hda. You want the drive not the partition.
* Create a directory <code>lab1</code> in your regular user's home directory. Not in root's home directory.
* Use the dd command to back up the first 446 bytes of the drive into ~/lab1/centos-mbr.dd. Those 446 bytes contain the master boot record, not including the partition table. You don't need the partition table backed up.
We'll use this backup later.
