Floppy via passive ftp.  I've done it numerous times in the past, is it
not a good idea?  I specifically chose the snapshots server from the list.

Unfortunately I cannot boot my 4.8 partition after this.  Is there a way 
to fix the partition?  The linux partition I have was spared, so I think 
the data on the 4.8 partition is still there, but I'm not sure how to 
get to it.
