I'm not too worries about hdb5 -- the former linux partition.. it  
even seems "complete".  I had used windows recovery console to run  
'fixdisk E:' - which supposedly writes a new windows boot section  
into the system partition. I think it got slighlt sonfused because  
there were two E:'s - so now the partitions are a little fuzzy.

Argh!
