Hi, this happend on my laptop (ibm thinkpad t41p, intel cpu, no special
kind of partition layout). Because this happend during partition table
parsing (during bootup), I was not able to copy it.

But this should only affect the first 512 bytes of my harddisk, or? If
so, I can copy this data and send it to you.
