yes, your linux partition is gone.
the ME 'restore' disk contains an image of your hard drive the way it

i suggest getting a second computer. sharing a hard drive with windows
is liker sharing a house with a fat,stupid relative - walking around,
breaking your things, cant hold a job, you get the idea.
