Hi :)

I had a lot of office work to do, now I've some time for emails again,
by the way, my IDE hard disk is fine. I run testdik from a Knoppix
Live-CD, run the quick search, changed the disk geometry, run the quick
search a second time and only had to write what was found.

I received an answer from the shop where I ordered the USB stick, but I
didn't read it until now.
