Thank you anyway. 
 
I have tried to modify the data by myself but I don't understand everything. 
But pvdata gives more coherent inofrmtation. 
 
I continue some tests because my data is very important. 
 
First question : 
Is there any document that discribes the structure of the data ? 
 
I order to reinstall the portable pc, I made a backup of the 3 partitions, 
and also backup of the ârtition table of the disk. So after dd of the 
partitions I have 3 normal files.  
 
I tried a  
 
pvimport -f oldvg hda6 hda5 hda1 
 
The result is: cannot stat hda6. 
 
Question 2 : 
Is there any  way to import the vg directly from these files ? 
 
Thanks a lot 
 
Pascal Garcia
