Hi! I managed to do it on 901 too. I had initialy erased all the original patitions and installed debian in a single ext3 partiton. When i realised i lost boot booster did som googling and took these steps.
-Create bootable usb pen. I used a puppy linux iso and unetbootin for this. - boot from usb pen. - shrink the instaled partition using parted. - created a new partition in the end of the drive. type 0xEF size 8mb. still in parted. It worked just fine. Here is my partiton table Disk /dev/sda: 4034 MB, 4034838528 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 490 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0xdd28dd28 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 489 3927861 83 Linux /dev/sda2 490 490 8032+ ef EFI (FAT-12/16/32) I advise for a backup prior to the procedure.
