Dear Martin, I've tried this '32 Gb clip' and it does allow me to boot using my 40 Gb, but i've been unable to get access to the last 8 Gb. I've been experimenting with the 'hdx=c,h,s' parameter but all i can get are screens filled with all kinds of hdd related errors rangeing from 'bad superblock' to 'seek error' and loads of others. Have you found a way to access the full drive capacity?
