This is scary. If Windows 98 wants to create partitions on
extra drives. What if you had created 4 partitions for Linux
in hdb, then installed Windows 98. Would 98 -- not finding
fallow space in the drive -- go ahead and kibosh a partition
a Microfticize it? Scary.
Somebody --NOT ME!-- should run this test and report to the list.
