Right. It puts back what was there before. What we need is 1) a facility for
saving
the MBRs and PBRs prior to grub installation; 2) a facility for restoring a
vanilla MBR
and PBR if necessary, without overwriting the partition table; and 3) a
facility for
restoring former MBRs and PBRs that have been saved. And this really ought to
be done
within the linux environment, without falling back on that unmentionable M$
stuff (even
the free versions). :-)
