Yes, that is more or less proven in the attempt to remove everything but the partitions.
The installer should either verify the MBR and the partitions and not assume they are OK.
Or just wipe the MBR and do everything from scratch.

Re: B3 reinstall issue
If you backed up id just reinstall with the reformat option turned on. Its really not worth spending time on this error. That is what I have tried to do from the beginning, I do not need to save any data. I just want the B3 back to the state it was when I unboxed it and the closest thing I could fi...

Re: B3 reinstall issue
The rescue disk worked and I could browse around on the B3's disk. It looks as if the reinstall worked, there were no traces of my changes, files or created users on the previous system. Even the log files are completely empty. So I cannot make out what stops the B3 to boot properly. Perhaps the dis...

The B3 clearly starts the process since both the LED on the USB-drive with the install-stuff on in and the HDD's red LED having an 80s d...
