Excellent. What can really help is: Bung an NIC card into the sick Windows box if it hasn't got one. (Don't care if Windows can see it). Load Knoppix - so that we can be sure the eth0 is actually usable. Fix the Windows partition using Linux tools and an internet connection over a LAN - using a Linux laptop if no other LAN available. Leave the Knoppix CD behind, along with a boxed Mandrake set perhaps. Alternatively, resize the FAT partition and slip Knoppix/Mandrake onto the hard drive.
