Many thanks for your reply! I did read that. Both my test- and actual drive or USB drives, so physical disk, non bootable. They have 1 volume and 1 partition.
According to the link you sent, I think I need to copy the the last 512 bytes of the *first logical volume*. Since I only have one volume, that should just be the last 512 bytes of the disk, correct? That is what I did.
I got confused because a lot of posts here on the forum (even ones about USB drives) used the first 512 bytes, so that is why I just tried both.
My problem is a lot like https://hashcat.net/forum/thread-5833.html, only that guy managed to crack his partition by DD the whole disk (which I did as well because of that post, but didnt work either!)
