Hi Matt,

You have not provided us nearly enough information to provide
meaningful feedback.  You say your computer got, 'hosed'.  Have you
managed to reinstall R?  If so, what version are you running?  Can you
install other R packages?  What is your current OS?  Still linux?
What flavour?  How were you installing packages?  How did you try to
reinstall reshape or reshape2 that failed?  What was the error(s)?

The most basic thing to do that works under most situations:

install.packages("reshape")
