This is the exact reason I posted this. I feel we have a rare case of unconventional setup that WAS working in our hands and all of a sudden Windows somehow messed this up and before I go ahead and disregard this case, we could somehow benefit from this and find out how to undo that change and bring things back to an operational point. This might prove useful to anyone that might be in the same situation I am today. By unconventional I mean, I have a GPT partition table (even though this wasn't required) and an seperate 2GB ext4 partition meant to hold the files of /boot. Maybe the automated recovery procedures run by Windows did something to the disks with their "bootrec /fixmbr" and/or "bootrec /fixboot" commands. So what I am looking for instructions on how to debug this. For example, are there any dd command templates: that will extract the partition table to check/verify either its type (MSDOS/GPT) or its structure. Sophoklis
