He hasn't answered me either yet. But I suggested a reinstall would be in
order and that FDISK should be runed to make the rest of the drive usable
(and then format of course). I asked him how much he knew, sinec I think
that "help to own help" is much better than to just ask him to pay alot of
money to get it to work.
Seems quite desperate mailing the both of us about the same problem (did
anyone else get a mail from him?)
