[cisco-voip] Rebuild UNITY Bootsector

[David Zhars]

Def bad hard drive...ca ca!  Now onto the nasty and troublesome ordeal
of "recover my data from my hard drive that is making clicking
noises".....

And we were due to upg Unity in 2 weeks...now it's going to be so ugly....

Kind of funny though, on the phone with TAC, and he can't transfer me
because everytime he calls someone in the licensing group, all he's
getting is dead air.  Probably another dead phone system.
