gives enough room for the MBR, but

fdisk -l /dev/sdb

probably does not give me enough room to fit properly a MBR

I don't think so. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_boot_record#Disk_partitioning tells us that the MBR is at the beginning of the physical drive, not in a partition. If you'll scroll down, you'll also see that the MBR is still only 512 bytes. Here's what fdisk -l has to say about the first partition on my main hard drive:

/dev/sdb1   *          63    83885759    41942848+   c  W95 FAT32 (LBA)

I assure you, there's an MBR there because it's been there since before I installed (and switched to ) Linux.
