Oh, *windows*.
Windows 7 wouldn't upgrade. No space, it said. But, I thought, looking at the 150GB free, over half of the disk, what could it need?
It took much poking and prodding to find out the problem, it thought all that space was an OEM recovery partition and thus could not be used.
It took MORE poking and prodding to find out why it thought that. It was, as I suspected, a parition type (in this case 27) that it couldn't identify. Not sure how it got that way.
It then took a bunch more poking and prodding and partition table hacking to get it back to normal. Now it's running. I swear, if I didn't need this OS for games...
