[wplug] need help with partitions

[Edward C. Smith]

I recently had a similar problem. I upgraded my win2k partition to win XP, and 
in the process managed to screw up every partition on my system.

By the time I was finished I had corupted my /home partition via the DOS fdisk 
writing a new partition over half the old one. 

It was a huge mess and I wound up reinstalling both XP and Linux. My advice 
would be to try and salvage what you can, and maybe use gnu parted to adjust 
the remaining partitions.
