No, it's practical, not academic. I could post you a map of the current system,
and of the system I will be building. Of course, there is no problem getting
Boot Mgr. and all the DOS stuff in early on the drive, but I have an existing
drive structure I want to work around, because I'm used to it, and certain things
are dependent on it. One factor, for example, is that I use Drive Image 4. It
will only write to FAT-16 space it can see, ergo, within the first 8G. I have long
kept a 2G partition available for this purpose. Given the size of the new drive,
I wouldn't mind having 2 or 3 partitions like this: the space is not a problem, but
their location *is.* I suppose I could move to a later version of DI, which probably
now works under Win, as does its sibling Partition Magic, but I'd rather not.

One of my ECS partitions will be located within the first 8G, but the other one --
and like Peter, I have long favored a full-size, fully-equipped Maintenance Partition --
is going to fall a long ways out.
