WHAT?!  I can't see how the eval could possibly do this.  All it does is 
mount your windows partition and save two files on it... no fdisk, no 
partition mucking.

Can you send me all the info you got on this?  If it's even *remotely* the 
fault of the live eval, then we need to hear about this.

I need info like your partition layout and maybe the type of computer you're 
running (memory, processor, etc).

Also, what version of the live eval?  7.1?
