This BUG is worse than any I've ever experienced. PLEASE GIVE IT SOME
HIGH PRIORITY!!! I am not a programmer, user only.  I wish I could help
fix it. I've seen this one cause a newly installed Ubuntu 10.10
installation to not boot using IBM boot manager. Boot manager was set up
to point to that specific Linux drive but now, boot manager can't see or
edit it. When trying to boot, the screen comes back and says the drive
is not formatted. Yet I can boot from a cd and look at the drive and see
that there are the Linux directories present. Strangely enough, the OS2
install survived it. In another instance, the OS/2 drives are rendered
inert.  In both cases however, the windoze installs have survived. This
one is also reported on the eComstation bug list.  Please help. This one
is more serious than given credit for being. There are business files
and such involved here. It's back up but so what? That doesn't fix the
problem. Please find a way to repair damaged drives.
