Guess I'll give it a try as soon as I can. Seems I'm screwed anyway,
wouldn't hurt to try it...

I realized I might not need gparted, fdisk might be able to do it. I
could try to set /dev/sda[12] to type 17 (hidden HPFS/NTFS) -- I just
tried it with the (empty) NTFS partition on /dev/sda3. Question:
changing a partition's type shouldn't alter any of its data, should
it?

Thks again,

Andre
