@Corona688: Please notice that I can boot from USB. And I already managed to run Live version of Linux Mint. But I'd like to have a regular system running, changing current Win OS as least as possible.
What do you mean that USB doesn't wear out? Frequent writing to flash like OS's do wears it out, doesn't it?

@RudiC: Well, I don't live in Germany, so I don't have to consult everything with the authorities Smilie. As you can figure out I want to use my laptop while interfering with its current state as least as possible.

partx - telling the kernel about presence and numbering of on-disk partitions. SYNOPSIS

Note that the all numbers are in 512-byte sectors. --type TYPE Specify the partition type -- dos, bsd, solaris, unixware or gpt. --nr M-N Specify the range of partitions (e.g --nr 2-4). SEE ALSO
