At the "C" prompt did you see a message about why Windows could not restart?  On 
mine it said that "dva.386" had duplicate entries in my system.ini file.  Once I 
removed one of the entries everything worked fine.  BTW I do agree that we should 
have been warned before it began add Win32s to our systems.  Even better, it should 
have checked to see if Win32s was already installed.
