For anyone else that wants to experiment with dual/triple-booting:

If you are doing weird triple OS-on-same-harddrive experiments, either
1) do not stash important data at all on any of them and just use it
to learn something
or
2) make very sure you have working backups of everything important to you

There is very little in between, apart from tears when people skip
this advice. 8-(

No, I can't help get this data back, but I can at least hope to tell
just one user more, that tested backups are very important,
*especially* when doing experimental setups with the disk and
partitions around it.
