Well, any time you use a MS thing to fix another OS, what can you
expect?  :(

I think one issue will be your disk layout. If MS whacked that you've
got problems. If you can boot from a diskette or cdrom and see if "fdisk
/dev/hda" (or whatever your primary HD is) looks normal, then "write"
the label again.

I'd try that, and if it works,while cd is still in see if you can create
the missing filesystem and copy whatever is in the cd over there.

You might look for a spare HD and install there and then fiddle with
moving/copying things around that way.

You may be able to do an "upgrade" type install and hopefully save some
files.

You still have options, but it might not be easy...

ciao!
