Some other things happened including more applications disappearing,
the laptop booting only-XP, not-booting-both-XP-and-Mandriva etc. I
entered safe mode of XP last night to get updates from IBM/Lenovo
which did not run due to safe mode of XP. Then did system recovery
(IBM/Lenovo Thinkpad utility). Luckily had one date to choose from the
options for recovery. I am using the same laptop to type this message.
At the moment Mandriva is crippled, I do not know much about state of
XP as I do not venture much that side.
I will update in a couple of days as per availability of time (there
are things to be done before deadlines pass) and useful information. I
have not done any analysis of the events so far.
Hope to learn something from this phase.

Chetan
