[Zope] Stupid newbie question

[Meilicke, Scott]

You may be able to save off your data.fs, reinstall zope, the attach your
old data.fs as mountable storage?  I have never used mountable storage, so I
have no idea if this would work or not.  Look on google for more info on
mountable storage.

 From the XUF FAQ:

11. HELP!!!! I tried to install XUF as my root folder, without reading the
FAQ,
or really knowing what I'm doing, and now I'm hosed!!!
That's a shame.

You may be out of luck,

Jorge M.
