Morning all, Looks like the mailing list accepts my Emails now.
Update: I did a 'cat sda.mbr >/dev/sda' This created the partition tables and sda reads as: '# fdisk -l Warning: invalid flag 0x0000 of partition table 5 will be corrected by w(rite) Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 1674 13446373+ 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sda2 8219 13250 40419540 f W95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/sda3 1675 8218 52564680 83 Linux /dev/sda4 13251 14592 10779615 bf Solaris Partition table entries are not in disk order' Then I booted into Clonezilla ISO and tried a 'restoreparts' using 2009-08-20-20-WXP.img, but again it only listed the external USD drives as viable TARGET devices. It won't recognise sda as a TARGET device. Any ideas?
