Guys, please put a stop to this pissing contest.
What I see here is one guy asking questions, and another answering them. I don't see any particular emotional content, and certainly not a "pissing contest". We're not even disagreeing.
In all of this you both left out that the OP needs a store that data on media that is accessible for restoration. That means not on the drive where the MBR is to be restored! Also, whatever boot disk/device the OP uses needs to have the necessary device driver to access the saved MBR data.
Of course the information needs not to be on the same disc as the MBR one is trying to replace.
