Thanks for that! I went back to PM and was able to
partition the drive, using the 'operations'
option. The wizard said it couldn't do it. So it's
now done. (Not happy with
the drive letter assigned, though.) I see no way
to change it, but I'm fairly sure it's there.
Allso couldn't use a CD for a 'rescue' disc. It
wanted floppies, of which there are
none.
