Okay, burned a Knoppix CD, got home, booted up.
If you find yourself in this situation, get Knoppix. It works.*
The disk is somewhat dead. Not truly and sincerely dead, but not well at all. But I'm backing up my email right now, and if I can get that, most of the other stuff is already backed up.
* Mostly. It hasn't recognised the other four internal drives, three of which form a single 600GB filesystem. But they are intact anyway, judging from the Windows XP recovery function. Just means I have to be verrrry careful when I rebuild the thing.
Update: Okay, all the important email is backed up. If I lose some of my mailing list archives, not a big deal. The personal stuff is all copied. Yay!

For some reason, my ISP doesn't at all like mu.nu blogs. Just can't connect to them at all.
Are there any special settings or oddities about mu.nu that would prevent a connection via ADSL?

I managed to get Insight Broadband to fix their DNS servers, but there are still other ISPs that don't work.
We're moving servers soon, and that should fix the problem.

Anyway, it's all working now. :)
I just have to re-install about 300 programs, and I'll be good to go.
