 Dear Adrien, have you really understand what the original problem is???
 Your changes look like obfuscating original idea. Modifying MBR is not the
 Installer's business most of time. This bug was about very specific and
 rare case of empty single-partition configuration with zero-filled MBR.
 But you propose to edit MBR every time Installer was run and DriveSetup
 creates the partition. Most of users would kill you after this. ;-)
