Ok... I'm booting now. Erik your hunch was correct. /dev/hda1 must
have been outside the 8k section. I'm not really sure how to read
fdisk's info and translate it into a physical offset on the disk but
going directly to /dev/hda worked.
Although Ron's dd command gave me an "Invalid argument /dev/hde" it
appears to have written the data on to the disk as I can boot and the
partitition table is still intact.
Thanks for all the help.
