Oh well, many thanks again!
I already thought something like this.
Now, this just leaves the question what f*ckin' type of partition this
BIOS wants. I already tried almost everything: lphdisk, zvhdd (DOS

disassemble the BIOS - just joking :) I think best bet would be to ask
Asus for a hint.

Anyway, thanks for your help!
