Help - accidently erased windows drive!

[Patrick Fleming EA]

Ok,
First, I would boot into the Linux system. Run 'mount' to see which 
partitions are being mounted. If Windows was on disk one then that would 
be /dev/hda and the second disk would be (depending upon how many 
ide drives total there, including cdrom, cd burner, LS120 drive, Zip 
drive, etc.) /dev/hdb, /dev/hdc, or /dev/hdd. If the partitions that are 
mounted are all on hda, then you are probably hosed... however if not then 
you may be able to configure the boot program to look for the other 
operating system. It would be helpful to know the operating system and 
version in order to help further- also which boot loader is being used.
