For the reason I also moved the first partition on the disk once out of multiple different tries I guess the chance is incredible low to (a) hit with a different broken sector the exact same spot in the image as before (b) by hitting a different spot coming up with the same exact problem...

I don't see where this shall go as long as you are not a professional ASM coder but here is the MBR: 00000000: 33c0 8ed0 bc00 7cfb 5007 501f fcbe 1b7c 3.....|.P.P....| 00000010: bf1b 0650 57b9 e501 f3a4 cbbd be07 b104 ...PW........... 00000020: 386e 007c 0975 1383 c510 e2f4 cd18 8bf5...

Hallo Forum, once I've made a backup of my System-Partition of Windows XP 64 Professional including the MBR. As you can expect by this topic it doesn't work out as expected. To keep it short, after a lot of trouble I'm at the point where it seems that I have the VBR/Bootsektor at partition 2...
