Trashed MBR

[Clayton Stapleton]

Tried to installed Mandrake 8.0 on a dual boot system with
the following problems:
 
1. It would not recognize a Logitech IFeel optical
   mouse. So went back to a standard 3 button mouse.
 
2. In expert mode when it came to making a boot disk
   it offered only an sda drive to make a floppy boot
   disk. No work around I know of for this since there
   is only an fd0 floppy drive on this system.
 
3. Do to a error on my part the MBR was trashed. The
   follow is from an fdisk of /dev/hda1:

The following is from an cfdisk of /dev/hda:

Is there a way to reconstruct the MBR from this info?
If so, would that person or persons please advise.
 
I was lucky, in that SuSE Linux 7.1 is on hda5, hda6 hda7
and I had a boot disk so that it is possible access SuSE.
And that is what makes it possible to send this request
for help.
 
The Mandrake 8.0 has been installed on hda3 and I have
looked at it with SuSE. Now if I can get a boot disk for
it then it will be usable. And still correct the MBR.
