[QUOTE="V10lator, post: 10013395, member: 485896"] No, most likely there isn't. Drives < 2 TB generally get an MBR but no GPT. In other words: Having an MBR on a GPT disc is part of the GPT standart: This is a fallback for devices not understanding GPT... But having a GPT on a MBR drive? That would be an exotic case you won't find in real live. Also you're still mixing up MBR and Superblock: Restoring the MBR from the superblock might be possible but to find the superblock you need the MBR, so it would be pretty hard to go this route (esp. when there's more than one partition on the drive). //EDIT: Then again the simplest way to restore an MBR is to, well, not restore it but recreate it from scratch. When there's just one partition on the drive this is plain stupid, when there are multiple you should remember the exact size of each partition... So restoring the MBR of a multi-patition disc is way more hard but on a single parition disc, like the one for vWii, it is damn simple. Again: Just use a low-level tool like fdisk which creates partitions without formatting them (or touching the data inside of the partitions in any other way). All the MBR is is a map, it maps the starting and ending point of the partitions on the drive...
