I'll try to get ahold of my wife's laptop again, but looking at other bug reports I'm under the impression that it was a VGA problem rather than a disk problem in the end. The laptop has one of the infamous GMA500 video chips so I would not be that surprised if entering VGA mode broke at some point. Anyway, I'll let you know in the next days.
