Thank you Gustin :) I'm still half asleep, that's why I will read your whole reply (and all other 64 Studio list mails) later. Because your mail was the last mail that came in, I read the last sentence. Yes, I only would try to install 64 Studio to the seemingly broken USB stick again. Some half good news for the IDE hard disk drive with the seemingly lost partition table: - I have backuped the IDEs MBR with the needed partition table, but without the Windows boot loader - I have no media to restore the Windows boot loader on the IDE, but Windows still can be booted - It's 100% clear that the IDEs MBR points to Suse 11.0 GRUB on the SATA, I can reinstall it, if it should get lost (until now GRUB is fine) I guess that I can recover the IDE's partition table by dd back just the partition table from the MBR backup and not the whole MBR ... but before I try this, I first need to awake ;) and after this I will read the mails and google and backup the actual MBR and some data. If only the MBR, resp. the partition table should be broken, I should be able to fix that. If it's not broken hardware, I guess it only will be the MBR and nothing else. To be continued. Cheers, Ralf
