I think it's valid because I was able to dd a moot disk with it. However, how can I do a loopback mount to try? You're using Grub, right? Would you mind trying to start a Woody install off your HD? Just download these: http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-i386/current/images-1.44/root.bin ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-i386/current/linux.bin And add the following to menu.lst: title new Woody install root (hd0,3) kernel /boot/newinstall/linux-2.4.bin initrd /boot/newinstall/root-2.4.bin Just see if you can boot to the start screen.
