I can't remember the book, but [Albert-L%C3%A1szl%C3%B3_Barab%C3%A1si](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert-László Barabási)[^] has written extensively about networks, specifically scale-free networks. In any natural network were the nodes are distributed unevenly, there are always what are called 'super nodes', in an average case around 10% of nodes connect to 90% of all the nodes. In a human network, if you can connect to a super-node you suddenly have a huge network. Panic, Chaos, Destruction. My work here is done. Drink. Get drunk.

Happy Birthday Dave. If you want to get ahead in Politics, there's no better way than to throw a bash on your birthday. I'll need a return ticket from SFO BTW :-D SG Aham Brahmasmi!

I can be very tedious at times, if you want to rearrange things into a more interesting post then I am more than happy with that. Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.

Cute kid. Every kid deserves a pet tiger.

The partition table describes where on disk the partition is. MBR (master boot record) is a piece of executable code that (IIRC) lives in that same disk sector and allows you to boot from the drive. DOS (or Linux) fdisk (among other tools) will create a partition table and allow you to create partitions. Fixmbr exists to recreate the boot record, and it may recreate an empty partition table along the way if it sees you don't have one. All you need is a partition table. An MBR isn't needed, but won't hurt either. You can (in theory) recreate the partition table without altering the data in the partition.. which is what you need to do. Perhaps use fdisk from a Linux live CD to create a new partition table and add a partition that includes the entire disk? Then perhaps use fsck in a non-destrucive mode to validate that the file system isn't corrupt and that you got the partition settings right? Good luck.. whatever trashed the partition table may have trashed the partition data too. patbob
