Thanx Harry

really good meticulous great reply. Thank You.

i've found both hda1 and hda5 but cannot find my missing files....
you mentioned that there might be another way of retrieving them... live lynux cd's you mentioned... or that not be what i need at all?

i can't say thanks enough - the documentationarea is still down for Maintenance and the documents i found at the download area are in German.... (i was so desperate i even tried giving them a shot

thanx so much
