Heres the story:
-I currently was running my system from a 120GB WD.
-Got my 80GB Maxtor replacement in the mail today.
-Installed replacement.
-Formatted it as the Primary Partition, when it should've been an extended. (IDIOT!)
-Restarted computer
-GRUB comes up in console rather than GUI...wont load kernel, cannot detect HDx#
-Cannot boot from Win98 CD because it is too scratched up, and my friend has my WinXP CD's.
I cannot believe that I selected Partition Magic to format it as Primary, omg...

feel better? WE all have done things like that, or had them done for us. I had XP reformat HD0 to ntfs because It had linux on HD0. I fixed that problem with a fdisk of xp
