I'll try to get ahold of my wife's laptop again, but looking at other
bug reports I'm under the impression that it was a VGA problem rather
than a disk problem in the end.
The laptop has one of the infamous GMA500 video chips so I would not be
that surprised if entering VGA mode broke at some point.

Anyway, I'll let you know in the next days.

Thanks
