Copies partion table form harddisk 0 to hardisk1 (ads's)
System and boot:
hd0 3.1 G vfat32 (Windows XP) /dev/hda1
6.9 G ext3 (Redhat 7.3) grub on /dev/hda2
hd1 5 G (FreeBSD 4.6) /dev/hdb1
5 G vfat (MSDOS) /dev/hdb2
10 G ext3 (Mandrake 8.2)grub on /dev/hdb6
All items booted from Windows XP BootMgr
boot.ini
c:\bootsect.os ="Operating System"

When FreeBSD 4.6 is booted this way it writes the hd1 partition table to hd0 thus crashing all Operating Systems on hd0
