No, I'm so sorry :-) it's too late . I needed a working system quickly,
so meanwhile I have reinstalled everything with another partition layout
i.e.: no more important data on hdb ;-)
anyway seems that these 4 meg were free space at the begginning of hdb
seems also this free space was existing before diskdrake run
also remember this disk has been used in the past as a primary master
with lilo on the mbr
hope this info helps however if you really need to I could try when I
have time to re-create the same situation, just let me know
