Just a note of warning, I experienced the same thing booting our
mandriva linux off a usb stick just last week. After using testdrive to
recover the partition with the restore data I was able to save it off
and reinstall the system. I would advise a full image of your drive
before something like this. I use acronis but there are many others
available.

OK, I tried it. I wanted to see if I could not add pskmail to puppy.
when I rebooted from the puppy 1.17 CD this morning a Windows98 screen
flashed by and then I got the message:
quote
The following file is missing or corrupted: COMMAND.COM
Type the name of the Command Interpreter (e.g., C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND.COM)
unquote
The laptop is now dead, and I will have to try and find a solution.
Looks like Grub has disappeared.
I am pertinently sure the laptop contained Windows XP and UBUNTU 6.06
LTS before I
started playing with the puppy CD.
This will take some time to fix... I cannot tell you how glad I am...
