The only reason that I'm suspecting the motherboard is because the very first drive I had in this system ended up with disk errors, and then this problem appeared. The M/Board doesn't have any mention of BIOS anti-virus protection which has been typical with Asus. Add to that the fact that the BIOS usually warns you if something tries to write to the boot sector of the drive and I haven't seen anything like that with this board.
But the fact that something is preventing me from writing to the MBR has
me very curious too. This is the first time I've ever seen this at all
in about 10 years, and re-doing the BIOS would usually kill any TSR or
other virus embedded onto the motherboard.

Do you use grub? Maybe lilo is your answer. http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-linux-e/2004-Nov/1911.html

Try testdisk; http://www.cgsecurity.org/
With this one you can also direct your problems to the programmer: they are generally very helpful and I have yet to go past testdisk when dealing with any partitioning problems.
Hope it helps.
