You're absolutely right - I did mis-write the size, and badly.

I ran DFSee's DFSTART on the drive today. I'm attaching DFSTARTX.LOG
for anyone who's interested. It isn't crystal clear to me, but there is
a space that may be a recovery partition.

Do you mean before installing any OS, or before installing eCS or OS/2?
It sounds like you're telling me that I should just blow away the entire
C: drive and start over. If so, how would you recommend doing that?
Would I use PM to get started, then use LVM once I've re-gen'ed WinXP?

Do you believe the resize _will_ fail, or _might_ fail, if I use PM
6.0? Is there a chance that DFSee would do it successfully?
Should I try to beg, borrow, or (shiver) buy the latest PM? (Jordan Fox
says he has a copy of PM 8.0 around, but he's out of town right now.)
Thanks,
Colin
