(First message seems to be queued forever in cyberspace, sorry if you
will see this twice)
This works perfectly man! Thanks!
The first "Vista" partition (sda2) seems to be a weird windows ntfs
stuff. When i boot it i get a weird windows error screen. Never saw
somethings like that. Maybe related to the black magic of the recovery
stuff.
The second "vista" partition (sda4) is the recovery stuff of Compaq. When
i boot it i get the Recovery interface to backup/restore the system.
Now need to find a way to fix: FATAL ERROR: Bad primary partition 3:
Partition ends in the final partial cylinder
Honesty, i worry more about that error, as i dunno the consequence this
could have.
Kind regards,
David Van Mosselbeen
