No offence, but that was a daft thing to do. Why would you want to do that for?

You're in trouble I'd say. You're probably looking at a reinstall, and I guess you have data you need on the hard disk too. If you want to get data off the hard disk, you may have to slave the hard disk into another machine to drag the data off that way. Then do a reinstall - and don't fiddle! -----------------------------------------------------
