Thanks!

Why is it a goof? Did you have any idea the HDD was on it's last legs?
What's on the surviving HDD? If it's something like Win98/ME, make sure you have a boot floppy (or CD and tell it to load up the command prompt), load from that and perform "fdisk /mbr". WinXP, I think the rescue option from the boot CD will work. As for other Linux distros... SUSE, I know, comes with an option to boot into an existing Linux OS. Not sure about other distros, alas.
