I suffered the same fate over a month ago. I am now using FFS 45.9 on
Workbench partition and SFS on the other 10 or so partitions. It was
exactly the same as yours, fortunately I managed to resurrect the 20gb HD
but nothing off it. Most of my backups where on other partitions, (I
thought I couldn't possibly lose the whole HD) :-(
I was using PFS3 with the update (was it 18.5 or something like that)
I threw it in the bin.
