Prior to erasing the MBR, you can make a backup copy with the following
command:

     sudo dd if=/path-to-disk-device of=my-backup-copy.mbr bs=512
count=1

Where:  /path-to-disk-device is something like /dev/sde

CAUTION:  Be sure to type in the above command correctly, otherwise data
loss could result
