Hi guys, I have been having exactly the same issues! Wow it's so awesome to hear that there may be some hope for me after all (although I am running a different system).
AMD Phenom 9550 Quad-Core
Gigabyte GA-MA790FX-DS5
SB600 chipset
4GB Gskill 1066 mhz RAM
1TB Samsung SATA HDD
Geforce 8800GT
I have done everything as you describe above, took me a while to figure out where to get the files but I've finally got everything sorted.
Once I have done everything I reboot the system with the iPC disk and enter the -v rd=disk0s2 command but it doesn't seem to get anywhere. I'm thinking because I have the disk / partition number wrong.
How do I find out exactly what disk I am going for? When in gparted it is the first disk, does that mean I need to do disk0s1 or disk 1s1 (I'm taking that to mean disk/partition).
So I guess my question is 1. Does windows/linux/dos see drives as the same device number? is the first hdd number 0 or number 1?
If I get it right will it stop saying:
Waiting for boot volume with UUID A906DF8E-9FA8-32B9-8D38-6437A619DC54
Thank you in advance!
