I wnet looking and the current version only supports Vista. Had to go back to 1.6 or 1.52 before it quit warning me it I didn't have Vista loaded. All in all I just wasn't comfortable with this tool and decided to use XP's Recovery Console off the CD. I then needed to Fix the boot.ini file to nuke the prompt for the remaining Ubuntu parition.
