Trying to zero disk signature - says readonly?

Post by dayrelton »

Got to hard disk and am viewing the MBR.
I need to zero the disk signature on cloned OS so XP will rebuild registry entries on next boot
When I type over the bytes, Readonly flashes in the status bar?
How do I edit?

When you open the disk make sure the readonly checkbox isn't checked. Also make sure you run HxD as administrator.
