wfwg 3.11 trashed my partition table

["Richard E. Hawkins Esq." <hawk@eyry.econ.iastate.edu>]

thanks, bill.

I tried to install windows for workgroups from diskette on my thinkpad, on the 
existing dos partition.

regardless of what it put on /dev/hda2, it trashed my partition tables.

If I reenter the same valued for the partititons, will my e2fs partition 
survive?  or do I have to reinstall.

For that matter, the same question for dos:  when my zip died, it trashed the 
partition table of the disk in the drive, as well as the next I tried to 
insert (which is why i was trying to install from a stray stack of disks 
rather than my backup).  Assuming the files itself weren't trashed, can I 
recover this (Okay, I shouldn't have bought an iomega product, but at the 
time, it let me continue to use the old powerbook for the kids rather than my 
wife running off & spending $3k on a new machine :)
