Yeah I meant Wubi. Try deleting them in windows since it sees all the
partitions and can probably manipulate them without issue. I'm guessing that
it was a windows install on that disk anyways to begin with. I've never seen
a partition table that cfdisk couldn't mangle back together so all I can
wish you really is luck. Hope you have a big external you can make images to
just in case..... =)
