Hei,

i know there's an article about all this on ThinkWiki, but ThinkWiki
seems to be down, temporarily. So i thought i'd ask here.

So...i gave in to the usual stupidity and installed grub on the MBR of a
T42 before creating the preload and rescue CDs.

Now the IBM_SERVICE partition doesn't want to boot anymore and the tools
in Windows to create the CDs can't find their data anymore.

Is there anything i can do to get at least these tools to create my CDs
or is there even a way to get the rescue system to boot again? (It gave
me a bluescreen when i chainloaded it.)

Note that this is not the older hidden partition, but a "compaq
recovery" type windows based rescue partition.

Thanks,
Andr=C3=A9.
