None of that stuff (which are files in the directory tree proper, not stored
in an MBR or PBR), ever gets changed, unless you deliberately edit them in
SC's Setup . . . and even then they have backups, which must also be attended
to. I thought we were talking about a few special sectors at or near the
beginning of the hard drive, which space was also being used by LVM ? Did
you mean that SC placed some pointers to the relevant files within that space
(whatever it's called), which might be in conflict with this ?
