No, because then you can't write to the real first sector. Assuming translation is good, 1 0 2 3 4 is a better order. Then "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda bs=1k count=999" will get rid of all this crap. Otherwise, killing it is difficult.

Linux should still be able to read the partition table. The translation can go.
