Yet another possibility is to GPT partition the disk and then zero LBA 0 (the PMBR). Now to any MBR only utility, it will appear to be a blank drive and hence dangerously unprotected.

Re: Strange booting problem

observations: 1. GRUB's boot.img, the 440 bytes of code in the MBR/LBA 0, does not use the partition active bit (the boot flag). So boot flag is irrelevant in a GRUB context. The GRUB boot.img code contains the specific LBA to jump to where core.img is found, which on MBR disks is in the MBR gap.
