It was intended as a joke :)  I have found fdisk to be the best tool for
solving issues with windows problems. It should be immediately followed
with the insertion of the
RedHat/Centos/Slackware/Debian/Suse/Ubunto/Tiny Sofa/Gentoo boot CD.
Especially when there are ;arge files involved. The odds of a
catostrophic winders system failure increase exponentially with the
importance of the content of the large file. See equation below:

((size of file /size of hard drive) ^ importance of file)/((time
interval since last backup (s)/time to recreate the file) ^ ( seconds of
uptime / seconds since last crash)) = probability of catastrophic
filesystem failure at any point in time for Windows2.x-XP system.
