Worth a try before opening up the mac-mini again. I'm currently using a
live Knoppix CD (V.5.1) to run the machine. I'll see later if gpart
http://www.stud.uni-hannover.de/user/76201/gpart/ for those that haven't
used it before, reveals anything and dump the would be partition table to
a file for examination as Hugo has suggested previously # file -
</dev/hda1.
I may need to rebuild the partition table.
That's a decent amount of modules by default however, <noting the above>.
Thanks Damian
