[plug] blowing away WindowsME

[Clare Johnstone]

Seems a pity to write over the MBR, Nicer to use fips to repartition 
as it will even leave the hibernate intact ( if it has one).
Lilo is very satisfactory on HDA2.
I found it important to be able to restore the Windows at
various times while experimenting.(Especially if booting is a problem...)
