I think this is a 5.0 showstopper. Having 5.0 overwrite your Windows partition would be "poor" PR. Having a quick look at it, it shouldn't be too hard for PHK to fix it as he has all the correct parts currently "loaded" into his head. Especially such things as making GEOM not allow writes to -ve blocknumbers (as must have happenned for root to have been overwritten). > > I think it has just slowly bitrotted.
