Hi Ross :) the actual drive is a SATA hard disk and I need to repair an IDE hard disk, so it doesn't matter, but I could disable or disconnect the SATA and use a Live-CD to be safe not to damage the SATA. I don't think this is necessary. I wish to know if there really is only the partition table broken, if so, I could recover it from a backuped MBR. I exactly know how the drive was, resp. how it should be: IDE_#1__ntfs_Size_20.00GB_no_Label______________Contains_Windows_XP_Pro_OS________Flag_boot IDE_#5__ext3_Size_20.05GB_Label_ide_copy________Contains_Backups_from_my_SATA_HD IDE_#6__ext3_Size__6.09GB_Label_studio32________Contains_64_Studio_2.1_Etch_32bit_/_and_/home IDE_#7__swap_Size__2.05GB_no_Label______________Contains_Linux_Swap IDE_#8__ext3_Size_16.03GB_Label_suse11.1rc______Contains_Suse_11.1_64bit_/ IDE_#9__ext2_Size_10.01GB_Label_suse11.1rc_home_Contains_Suse_11.1_/home IDE_#10_ext3_Size__2.08GB_Label_unused_2________Empty A Suse recovery tool, maybe testdisk, found 2 old partitions, but needed to delete the existing partition. I'm not able to backup the whole IDE, resp. I can ask a friend to borrow me an USB hard disk, he has got this device for cases like that. All important data is backuped to the SATA, anyhow it would be hard work to reinstall what I still need, but isn't backuped. Cheers, Ralf
