Have a look at this page. 5 Free Tools to Backup and Restore Master Boot Record (MBR)

MerleOne:
Again, thanks all for all these tips.

I did try MBRtool by burning  a CD but it wouldn't save the MBR on anything.  HDHacker seemed easier to use even if I had to be extra careful when performing the save (a restore could have been catastrophic).

To be on the safe side, I also performed a full image backup of the entire HDD with Image for Linux bootable CD (TerabyteUnlimited).

I then installed the software that was rewriting its own MBR, DriveClone Pro 6 (Farstone) and I must say I am quite impressed with it.  It's a mix of Rollback RX and Acronis True Image, with the difference it doesn't crash so much.  But I guess I should give more details in another thread, even write a minireview, if only I could figure how to use the post model.
