Trying to cannibalize unused disk space from >>the Linux partition, I instead trashed both Linux and Windows! > > How did you manage that? Not sure. I booted up Linux (Mandrake) and verified that it filled less than two Gigabytes of a twelve GB partition. So I put the install CD in, and reinstalled. When I got to that point, I selected the second 12 GB partition and split it into nine and three. Formatted the nine to NTFS and the three to standard Unix. Installed Linux, and tried to reboot. Goes through about a screen and a half of startup messages and then hangs. Vulcan nerve pinch and power button disabled--have to unplug. Selected NT from LILO boot menu. Screen says "Loading NT..." and nothing else for many minutes. Vulcan nerve pinch and power button disabled again. Windows CD can boot and can see all partitions but can't repair. Linux CD "rescue" function can't fix either. Corp. IT came in and re-partitioned and re-imaged the whole drive. Not in a hurry to try re-installing Linux now! :-)
