You can probably get access to the first (hidden fat16) partition with this command: mount -t vfat -o loop,offset=32256 /dev/hda1 /mnt but please don't write there directly (because the beginning of this partition is also to be included in the image). Please do this: dd if=/dev/hda of=/root/hda.img bs=1M count=1 mount -t vfat -o loop,offset=32256 /dev/hda1 /mnt cp /root/hda.img /mnt umount /mnt And BTW, the remap63 option will be removed from future kernels - and testing of the alternative (initramfs-based) solution is not possible without your help. For debugging of the original "can't see partitions" issue, please boot 6.3 from the CD with load=ide-generic, and with/without remap63, and post both results of fdisk -l /dev/hda and "lsmod" from there. -- Alexander E.
