Regading
But combine the comments above with some clearly PC/Windows tech
support that is going on on this list (let alone a few others) and
I'm starting to wonder how many of us really use Linux here? Linux
has no such issues with what we are discussing.
I think this thread started when someone asked for a recommendation on how
to create "images" of the entire HD using a bootable diskette and an
application akin to symantec's norton ghost and a w9x boot diskette.

First off, there are several issues with certain Microsoft OSes and
the limitations of Microsoft FDISK, depending on the OS/utility.
Secondly, nothing twerks me more than the abuse of the "engineering"
title. Don't quote me it.

I'll admit, he didn't deserve the answer I gave me.

Again, Phil Barnett of LEAP has created a non-Linux/OSS, PC/Windows
support list here:

Please consider joining (or at least posting there) -- especially
since SOTL has done so (or is at least posting there).
