The problem ist that setup-storage creates a new partition table. If you write a hook to restore the old signature it will work. save signature: dd if=${WINDOWS_BOOT_DEVICE} of=${BACKUP_PATH}/${WINDOWS_BOOT_DEVICE_SIGNATURE_NAME} ibs=1 skip=440 count=4 restore signature: dd if=${BACKUP_PATH}/${WINDOWS_BOOT_DEVICE_SIGNATURE_NAME} of=${WINDOWS_BOOT_DEVICE} obs=1 seek=440 count=4 regards Markus Köberl -- Markus Koeberl Graz University of Technology Signal Processing and Speech Communication Laboratory E-mail: markus.koeb...@tugraz.at
