It is the first sector on disk/card. As root copy it to file like:

Code:

dd if=/dev/mmcblk0 of=my4gbsandisk.bin bs=512 count=1

This makes copy of master boot record of card in internal slot to my4gbsandisk.bin file (1 sector of 512 bytes), store it somewhere safe (not to the card itself :-)

you can later restore it by switching if (input file) and of (output file) arguments in the dd command above
