well, i guess the overlapping thing was right...got back this morning, tried to access some original folders that we copied last night on the new partition, and its toast...
good fun though!
we just tried it, since we're a computer shop and have spare drives around
here's the screen shot
the drive is a WD 80GB BB 7200rpm 2M drive, now with a 59GB extra partition

i use microscope. my business bought it, and its a $600 buy in a believe. comes with a POST card (very handy for troubleshooting non-POSTing mobo's and a bootable diskette that does all kinds of good testing. we also got it on cd for an extra $10. i use it all the time.
for testing harddrives, i use seatools from seagate on bootable cd.
