Huh i do that but is sims not help. I only get the F partition destroyed. No data on it or on G(for G is not important).
I log to xbox, edit the installed script:
Scrool to the line 479 and changed the START= to
Save the vi with ":wq" and then run installer
It format something and try to mounting then i get some error not enough free space and halt. After rebooting and going to dash i see that i dont have any data on F partition. Is there any way i can restore them.
After lookin in your installer script i see the
dd line that start to format from
ANd that destroyed my data ((( and you didnt tell about dd line egg MCE 1.1 didnt have it also ((

I did the exact same thing with GentooX Home, and lost my F partition. That's why I did the installs on a fresh hard disk, so it didn't matter if I lost anything.
I'd recommend anyone not to partition and format disks with valuable data on, without being either 100% confident in what you are doing, or making a backup.
