The device name under Linux is /dev/sda1. Using fdisk under Linux, I am
seeing /dev/sba1 in the partition table. It starts on cylinder 1 and takes
the whole disk.

If I have to recreate an MBR with a partition table at sector 0, which tool
can I use? Is it possible to do it through USB? Connecting to the IDE
controller is out of the question for me: I do not have a laptop or a 2.5
to 3.5 adapter.
