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.
