HELP!

I tried the Shoelace package out and it all worked fine on my
"generic" XT----except, winiboot. I tried the check procedure
outlined in the readme file. I made a copy of the partition
table on a floppy and tried the laceup on this partition. The boot
from this floppy worked fine but when I applied the same procedure
to my hard disk---it got stuffed. I have a 20M hard disk that
has so far been working fine with Minix, in fact it is still
working when I boot from the regular Minix floppy but DOS no longer
boots!

In addition to other help could some kind soul mail me a uuencoded
partition sector for an XT hard disk? This could probably be patched to
re-set up my disk the way it was at least!

HELP!
Thanks in advance,
Kapil.
