(hmmm...ok, two send good news two times is not that bad in this times, I think... ;) Hi Andrea, hi Wolf, this magic one liner does the trick indeed! I have my data back and copied it to my new system spread over four separate partitions, which are currently still empty. No error while copuing and both disk matched. A very *#BIG THANK YOU#* for all the great help, the research and the solution. I myself am back in "normal mode" :) Wol has suggested to run mdadm on the bad harddisk to see, whether this tool is able to fix it -- which I will next. Since I have my data back on the PC internal disk, this is no problem at all. One thing remains... I want to prevent this kind of hassle in the future... ;) Perhaps it is a good idea to re-partitions the disk to get rid of any bogus bit, format the partition and copy back the data then. What is the most reasonable setup here: GPT without any hybrid magic and ext4 because it is so common? Any other, possible more robust configuration, which is also common with rescue tools and -distributions? I have to say it once again: Thank you very much for solving the hassle puzzle! :) Cheers!
