I'm two hours into an install now and would not really like to do
that.  However, if I am faced with another fs failure after I reboot,
I will soon conclude that I have a hardware problem.  The only catch
is that the OEM Windows 7 fs has not exhibited any problems yet,
because I've only booted into it a dozen times so far.  Not even sure
if I can claim from the warranty for this laptop.
