Sigh. Computer go blooie :-( It's a dell with one of those nice "restore" partitions on it that will restore it to the original state... So does anyone happen to know whether "original state" means "reformat the disk into the original single partition", or just "restore the contents of the primary windows partition as it exists now" ? (My disk has a considerably more complex partition setup than it did originally.)
