I understand.
What you're saying was that I shouldn't have backed up my
(perhaps compromised) WinXP data onto the external hard
disk *from* that very same compromised Windows OS.
This makes sense.
In hindsight, I should probably have booted to Knoppix,
and then used Knoppix to copy the c:\data hierarchy over
to the hard drive.
Sigh.
Now all I need to do is recover the Master File Table,
because this Microsoft KB was what I had followed prior:
