Also be careful about editing important files from /mnt/win with Gnu/Linux text editors, because msdos uses carriage returns and line feeds, and *nix don't. Use win/dos editors to edit dos files. If you re-install windows, you can specify a directory other than C:\windows. Also, when you re-install windows you can get a folder called "wininst.400" or something similar. You can check your c:\msdos.sys file for the location of windows. The desktop is in C:\windows\desktop, or c:\_whereverYouInstalledWindows_\desktop. Sorry, I have to support windoze.....
