You must be a lot more careful than I am.  I'm always
tweaking something on my system (to see what it does) 
and sometimes this has deadly consequences.  But fixing 
it is easy.  I just boot the ramdisk version (which sits
on my DOS partition permanently) and undo whatever it 
was that I did.  That's an advantage of having a (small)
bootable DOS partition.
