Also, if you have are running XP (not sure about other windows) you can
run the install CD and dump into the recovery console and type fixmbr
which should restore the original windows master boot record. Be
careful with that one though. I have fuxored more than one drive doing
a similar operation. I would advise backing up all important data
before you touch your partition table or MBR.
