Loss of data is unavoidable This is rather strange because Unity uses the installer from mandrake/KDE The installer also (re)set a BIOS option It turned the power to my optical PS2 mouse off To repair this, I needed to physicaly reset the motherboard (restrep) (which was a waaay back old bug in the mandriva installer) You might need to supply a better and correct installer/formatter from mandrake/KDE Greets, Arend.
