Ok. This is what I wanted to know. I thought exactely the same about how
I have to proceed (I even have started to write down all the necessary
information), but then, I couldn't find a tool for moving a file system
to the back with changing the start cylindern. And no, I wont write one
;-)

Thanks a lot for the hints, I will now try to borrow a disk!

Best wishes

Norbert

The kind of restaurant advertised as 'just three minutes from this
cinema' which clearly nobody ever goes to and, even if they had ever
contemplated it, have certainly changed their mind since seeing the
advert.
