Hello All,
I have full sector by sector images of my C: drive on an external drive, created with IFL loaded from a bootable USB drive.
Is it possible with IFL to restore from the image only the MBR record?
Thanks,
Bill
Can I restore MBR only with IFL?

Bill,
Can you explain why you want to restore the MBR (only)?

Thanks, Brian, for your interest.
My question is hypothetical. I have been reading comments on other forums about the need to protect the MBR due to certain rootkits, etc.
Since I already use IFW/IFD/IFL and create monthly disk images, my question is can I restore only the MBR as a first attempt if I suspect this type of maleware...
Thanks,
Bill

you can just have BIBM install a standard mbr via partition work / view mbr.
you can also use tbosdt pro to copy sectors to / from file.
