SystemRescueCD -- Two Thumbs Up!

Wow. SystemRescueCD is awesome. I managed to somehow screw my partitions up on a dual boot with Windows 2000 Pro and Ubuntu Linux. The computer was still functioning, it just didn't want to let me change the sizes of any partitions until I fixed some error (assuming this was caused by my Ubuntu install and the Linux dual boot program rather than Windows' MBR being used).
I downloaded and burned the SystemRescueCD iso, booted it. Was a bit apprehensive when it showed Gentoo linux and booting it, a bit afraid that I was wiping out my current boat loader and would be going through heck to get Windows back. Silly me, it booted up fine, I ran run_qtparted (iirc), and was able to fix the partitions and create a new FAT32 that I plan to dual-use for e-mail/music on Win/Linux.
Great program!
