Why is this 55 AA signature at the end of the Master Boot Record? Various documents about the MBR say it is needed but not why. Even documents advising you about how to write your own OS say it is needed. I'm busy writing my own OS, don't use this signature and I have no troubles. That's quite logical IMHO because none of my software is looking for it.
Today I run into this thread where Ray states that XUB looks for it. This is a good reason to add the signature to my MBR, just in case I want to use XUB with my OS.
Question: which other software looks for this signature?
