I think one could "fix" the partitioning itself by just deleting the extra entry in the MBR-Partitiontable and move the real entries (now sda2/3) to sda1/2 again. The partitions and filesystems seem ok.
As it is a virus/trojan/backdoor infection, I recommended dcr do best zero the disk and reinstall.

dnh, I have another questions on this disk. Currently, I was going to wipe the windows partition and reinstall, leaving the linux partitions in tack as they are fine. My question is: What do I do with the stuff in the current sda1? Do I just delete sda1 and let the partitions fix themselves? Do I delete sda1 and then manually rename/number the remaining partitions? (doesn't seem logical) Do I wipe out the offending data in sda1 to remove the partition boundary and then reboot to correct the partition order? Something along the lines of: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=512 skip=28 count=3 (just to catch either side of the sector 29 problem?) How is the correct way to handle this if I want to preserve the linux install? Or, is that just not worth it, so I should just fdisk -l /dev/sda and then d,d,d,d,d? -- David C.
