You have indeed initialized some portion of your hard disk.  I had the
same bad experience a week after upgrading to 2.0.  I had to rebuild
from scratch.  (ouch).  I'll certainly be more careful NeXT time,
but I must confess that I fail to see the utility of an option to
reinitialize the boot hard drive.  I would strongly recommend that
this be changed before too many people shoot themselves in the foot.
