Is the MBR always stored on the hard disc outside of partitions?

[pstein]

Is the MBR always stored on the hard disc outside of partitions?

What about the Bootmanager? Is this software inside or outside of a partition?

And what if a computer is connected to TWO hard discs?

Does each hard have its own MBR and its own Bootmanager?
or is there ALWAYS excatly ONE MBR and ONE Bootmanager on one Computer?

Yes

On the Active partition by default.

Does each hard have its own MBR

Yes

and its own Bootmanager?

Not necessarily

SIW2, you said yes to this but I don't think that's true. The MBR is at the beginning of each drive and describes the partition layout among other things, right?

 

[SIW2]

Each Hard Drive will have one mbr.

Urk!!!! Somehow I thought it said partition.

Humblest apologies (I should have known better).
