Hello, Eddie.

Having been brutalised once by Alan, I'll try to keep my reply short :-)

Please don't take these emails too seriously, because a forum like this 
only exists so that we can help each other. Alan is right that me 
telling you and Tom about how I got around similar problems to you is OT 
as far as this forum is concerned.

In mitigation of my crime, I did tell you that I used "parted" to clone 
a Windows ME partition as a way of reinstalling Windows (drat I've used 
that work twice now!) legally on an other PC. Maybe we Ubuntniks need to 
be a bit more flexible in out approach. You know, it's very handy to be 
able to fix Windows(now I'm dead) problems using Ubuntu!

Hey don't give up on Ubuntu!

It's great, versatile and very useful for all sorts of things ;-)

Take care,
