Have you
formatted the drive with the stand-alone formatter?
I've used 'sifex' to format the HDD and from there I tried to
restore the system. I don't have any original installation media -
just backups made on the machine itself.
I begin to suspect that either there is still something wrong with
disk that I fail to see (it's the third one that I and the previous
owner tried) or the backups are in some way specific to a system or
partition layout which of course is now completely lost.
