Subject: Help - my boot partition is corrupted!
I have a Dell C610 laptop that dual boots Debian and Windows 2000. I was running disk defrag under windows this weekend and all of asudden got a blue screen with a memory error and the computer locked up. Now, when I try to reboot I get the message "Primary hard disk drive 0 not found." I can hear the drive spin up, so at least that is working.

Can someone help me try to restore the boot partition, perferable by phone? This is my work computer and I am rather stuck at the moment. I have a Knoppix 3.2 CD that runs, so I can get into the machine. I just don't know how to proceed from there.

Thanks!
