Are you kidding? The question is what haven't I done.
It started when I installed a new version of Linux and it started messing
with my partitions. I thought I had everything straightened out, but I
also was messing with Partition Magic, Drive Image, and Fdiskpm. Probably
a few other things, too.

I think I am OK with backups. I probably will just reformat and
repartition the hard drive and then restore files.

I'll wait a day or two in case anyone comes up with something less drastic
that I can try.

Thanks,
Sandy
