You should do what michaaaa62 just said. Make a image copy, of all your internal drive, (first command) then copy the backup cluster (6) to the main (0) (second commnad) and hope for the best |:/

@Michaaa62:
Are you sure that you are copying the sec 6 to the 0 with this command? Shouldn't I try to copy to the sec 6 somewhere else and then try to copy it to sec 0? I don't know much, but looks like you are copying the 6 to the 6 again, am I wrong?
of=/dev/mmcblk0p1 does start at zero, writing one block [count=1] to it after skipping 6, actually writes the seventh block, back to the device. Also please note that in windows they count from one, while in linux, they count from zero. Please don't ask me why, may be some patent trolls on Linus' shoulder, i don't know.
