Woks perfectly so :) Thanks man! Indeed, the first "Vista" partition is some weird "Windows" ntfs thingy, when i try to boot it i get a white on black windows error message. Never saw somethings like that. Probably related to the black magic of the recovery stuff. The second "Vista" partition is the recovery stuff, when i boot on it, i get the Compaq interface to restore or backup the system. Now need to find a way to fix that "Bad primary partition 2" :) Kind regards, David Van Mosselbeen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
