mbr backup file needed

Hello! I have a 40G toshiba drive, with the 2G pqservice partition, for D2D recovery. I did all sort of experiments (backup partition with norton ghost 9, erase partition, experiments, trouble, restore partition...), and now I can't start D2D with Alt+F10.

I believe it's the MBR now, since the partition is restored properly.(And I forgot to back-up that too.. actually i thought Ghost will do that also, regarding the backed up partition)

can anyone with a similar configuration (a working D2D) send me please a MBR backup copy? Or take a screen shot with the PTEDIT32.exe window (from partition magic, or norton partition magic) so I can see the start and end sectors, etc, and compare them with mine's!

Or better use PartInNT.exe (in partition magic's directory), and then preview!, which will make a report file!

Any help is apreciated!

Thank you very much!

Help please. I will give any instructions how to do it. Step by step. There is no risk for your PC, or security, or something else. For anyone who doesn't know, the MBR (Master Boot Record) contains information about the partitions on your hard drive, and about the ones that are active (that can be booted). I need it to make the Disk to disk recovery to work again, after I erased my own mbr.
