In the near future I want to change the hard drive that this machine boots from, the one where the whatever it is, is in the mbr. Is there any way in which this 'whatever it is' can be saved to a CD, so that I can still boot into linux after I've installed windows 2000 on the new drive, and then put the 'whatever it is' into the new mbr?
