    They did say Android 3.2 on x86 was only for Brazos/Eee PC/Asus/Tegra and that it is only a release candidate... this is what you get when you ignore instructions :rolleyes:

    Either way, the only thing I can think of right now is to install Windows using a DVD or thumbdrive if the recovery partition cannot be detected. It should install a new bootloader and allow your system to work again.
