I don't know what part of this is ambiguous:

MY GOAL
I've been through so many reinstalls of my OS from virus attacks -
despite my best efforts to keep AVG Anti-Virus + Anti-Spy current on
my machine - that I am desperate with this most recent install to have
a TRANSPORTABLE, Non-OS-Dependent, Non-MAGNETIC-Media backup of my
MBRs and NTLDRs _at a minimum_ so that when I see the dread MBR Status
in AVG as "Changed" I can, in minutes, overwrite it.




Wow. IMO, you are doing something wrong and it's not how you are
doing your backups.
