I ended up ghosting onto a spare drive, then running fdisk /mbr from a 
Win 98 boot floppy (as GRUB wouldn't start up..), and then all was good.

Ran Seagate's utility on the drive, showed it as being no good, so 
getting that RA'd now.. Going to dump in a second hard drive now, and 
RSync to it every night.


Was lucky this time, but maybe next time I won't be.. so will follow a 
strict backup routine :)
