Man, when I first messed around with Linux I hosed the MBR more times than I can remember. Either through Windows smashing it with an update, or my dumb ass doing stupid shit in gparted.

Pretty sure I was able to recover the important files somehow, but my parents banished me to the old family desktop for that pretty quick.
