hi mzilikazi
thanks a lot for your help. unfortunately fix-all-global.bash did not resolve my problems.
well, I consider to step-back to knoppix 3.2 which seemed to work and learn installing software i'm in need (already messed up a lot with my trials before)... or hope that version 3.4 will come up soon without my problems.
for sure i will try grub after it runs
cu, best wishes out of the stars

apt-get install grub
grub-install /dev/hda
update-grub

Then you *should* be able to boot either OS (and I use the term OS loosely when referring to anything from Redmond) :P
