It can't have formatted the whole disk (though I was worrked at the time),
because both Linuxes still boot fine.  Windows' C: partition is perfectly
readable and writable by Linux, and is empty.

In case it's still of interest, this is the output of fdisk -l:

Disk /dev/hda: 80.0 GB, 80054059008 bytes
16 heads, 63 sectors/track, 155114 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 = 516096 bytes

/dev/hda2           25022      111563    43617168    5  Extended

Are you sure about /dev/hda2 with id 5 ? I had some mysterious behaver with id 5. It my help if you set the extended partition to 0F ,it stands for W95 Ext'd (LBA). Issues I had where, D: on a extended partition was seen twice in windows, the partition was empty after a reboot, but I had copied data on it before.
