EDIT: Can someone give some guidance on how to 'dump' a partition table, preferably via Windows, or using Linux via a LiveCD?
dd if=/dev/sdb of=ipod_2nd_gen_mbr.bin count=1 bs=512
I could use the Linux dd but I would need to point the output file at the iPod as I'd be running Linux from a LiveCD.
Why not output it to a thumb drive? Simply navigate to your thumb drive via the command line (for example, "cd /media/<disk name here>" if you're using Ubuntu), then run the dd command from there. Then you can upload it to the wiki afterwards.
dd if=\\.\k: of=ipod_mbr.bin count=1 bs=512
