    fixed it.

    i did a delete using parted magic, which totally wiped the drive to 0.

    so created a partition in parted magic and its back.

    here we go!!

    well that was short lived

    stuck at 5% on "expanding windows files"

    mouse still moves, and the 3 dots still go back and forth.

    nearly 20 mins now though :(

    any ideas?
