  Nope i used th cp command.

: What error messages do you get when you boot?

  Operation system missing.

: *Maybe* something like Disk Doctor could help, but more likely
: with a dos boot disk with format on it you'll be able to get a partition
: back, but obviously no data.

  Luckily my extended logical partitions d:/e: drives are unaffected by
  the modification but c: is dead as a door nail...oh well? btw before i 
  install "everything" what file system should i use? currently i'm using
  ext2 filing system but everytime i boot it mounts it as read-only so i
  need to remount it once i login as root....is there a way to make it
  automatic? 

  Hahaha....i should've asked what's the command for moving files from linux
  to ms-dos a few flames here and there is much better than formatting and
  re-copying files on my 1.2G hdd....hahaha ;P

: Using 'root' can be dangerous to your health....

  EXTREMLY!!!!!

Well thanks for all the help again...:>
Bye, Anty
