You saved my life!! Nothing less!

This was a great help cause i never thought that it could be a hardware 
problem. I took a dump from last night and tried to recover on the original 
machine. it didnt work as i wrote. but when i tried to install it on another 
machine it just worked fine.

So everything is up and running. 

I still have all the corrupt files in place and now  i try to determine what 
went wrong. 

As it is obviously a hardware problem, my question is now: how can i check my 
hardware (disk)?

How can i get informed next time when things are going wrong?

Ok i will come up with a lot of questions as soon as i had another coffee 
because i never want to feel so helpless again. 

There really should be a section in the manual like "desaster recovery" which 
shows some tricks and methods.

i will as soon as my nerves are cooling down again :-)

kind regard,
janning
