hi,

i have an ntfs partition that i recently lost contact
with :( 

i might have accidentally run "setup (hd0,0)" instead
of "setup (hd0)" in the grub console. so now i can't
even mount that partition, i keep getting errors and
windows doesn't boot. here's dmesg:

-------------------------------
[4306336.460000] NTFS-fs error (device sda1):
read_ntfs_boot_sector(): Primary boot sector is
invalid.
[4306336.460000] NTFS-fs error (device sda1):
read_ntfs_boot_sector(): Mount option errors=recover
not used. Aborting without trying to recover.
[4306336.460000] NTFS-fs error (device sda1):
ntfs_fill_super(): Not an NTFS volume.
------------------------------

anyone ever been in this situation? i'm thinking of
booting the windows cd into recovery mode and try
FIXMBR, FIXBOOT. eventually i might just format the
whole thing and get it done with...

any ideas? thanx
