I regretably have to agree with Anders. It would appear that Windows destroyed the Linux partition, You should try to reinstall Linux and proceed through the step ups to setting up the partitions. Then look at what partitions exist (use existing I believe is the prompt). This might be rather interesting.
I always find these posts to be humorour in a rather perverse kind of manner. Microsoft Windows x.x destroys the Linux operating system, and it is the Linux operating system which gets blamed. I guess it is a great deal of marketing.
Bill G has made a point repeatedly of stating that the presence of free software in any form violates his licenses, and trying to convince us that the GPL states that anyone who agrees to the presence of free software has given up their property rights. So you can see, in the news, that his software is not warranted to work correctly in this situation. I don't know why anyone would try to run ME with linux, but I can say that back when I was required to run Win98, I had an episode where Office 2K trashed itself and the linux partition. Win2K can remove a linux partition, of course, but I have not seen it happen without it being instructed to do so.
