I was thinking that perhaps if I tried to install some distro, that it's installer would recognize the operating systems already written to disk and let me install to free space (i.e. Any and all help will be much appreciated. I would, however, like to restore things to how they were before (minus Ulltimate editon - but things how they were with Ultimate Edition would be better than how they are now).

I did have windoze xp professional on sda1, windoze data on sda2 sda 3 (I think) was as extended partition that included sda4-sda11, of the which sda6 was c. Just for the record, Testdisk isn't installed on Isadora or Lucid live CDs, but I found it on Systemrescue CD and on PCLinuxOS KDE 2010 live CD.
