I just got from recovering my PC from the trouble that IFS app brought
me. It erased my Linux installation and didn't update the MBR so I was
left with GRUB waiting for nothing :)

I recovered my Win2K installation but my Linux installation is already
dead! Moral lesson (for me and others willing to experiment on dual
boot matters): don't try it with M$Win partitions you need at work or
you'll be more than sorry.

Thanks (for the office afternoon adventure)! :)
