[cisco-voip] Rebuild UNITY Bootsector

[Go0se]

I really wonder if something's up with licensing... I opened a TAC case with
licensing almost 4 hours ago - still shows a status of "Not Yet Assigned".
So much for their "someone will call you back within an hour" promise.

Thanks,

Go0se

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.
