When I ran the script you sent me, I got the following message: "dd: /dev/sda: Operation not supported"
what was supposed to happen and how can I fix it?
you'll need to run it using sudo:
Code:
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=440 count=1

the only way i know of is reading the boot code to a file:
Code:
sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=some-file bs=440 count=1
and using a hex editor to check whether the content is something other than completely zero.
ciao,
Mario
