Dear Florian... thank you for your e-mail.
What is 'br'? Is it MBR of /dev/hda??
Must I write in /dev/hda1 or I can write in MBR of /dev/hda?
If I write in MBR of /dev/hda... can I use 'Access IBM' to restoring to =
factory-shipped state?

    If it doesn't work, or you can't see the hidden partition, there is =
an option in the bios, something about IBM Predesktop Area. It should be =
disabled.
