I wouldnt bother trying to decrypt the real MBR. And if it's stored
unencrypted elsewhere on the drive, well, there's only so many places where
you can put it, unless you want to push up the complexity level. In any
event, it's easier to just build a new MBR. This would work, unless the
partitions are set up funny to make it hard to determine the start of a
partition.
