I don't understand much about the MBR; but you might checkout fdisk.  'man 
fdisk' shows some options to initialize or reinitialize the MBR.  I don't 
know if either of these options resets the MBR to a standard/default state.  
The man page also mentions that a default boot code is in /boot/mbr.

Best of luck,
