Ray,

I did some changes to the partitions so that a C: partition would exist
before my D: (Warp 4).  Here it is using DFSDOS:

ID	Dr	Description	           Ux	Format  Related	       VolumeLabel	BM-Name	Size MiB
01 	 	Prim de DELL-Util	 1	FAT16 	Dell 8.0	DellUtility	 	                   78.4
02 	 	FreeSpace Wasted 	 	-- -- --	-- -- --	- - - - - -	 	                        0.5
02 	C:	Prim 07 Inst-FSys	2	FAT32 	Win NT 	RECOVERY 	 	             2048.0
03>	 	Prim 07 Inst-FSys	 3	NTFS 	Win NT 	OS 	 	                         
    40959.9
04 	D:	Log 0e FAT16-Ext	5	FAT 	IBM 4.50	NO NAME 	 	          2047.3
05 	 	FreeSpace Logical	 	-- -- --	-- -- --	- - - - - -	 	                 
          9.2
05 	E:	Log 0b FAT32 	           6	FAT32 	MSDOS5.0	DRIVE_E 	 	             14480.4
06 	F:	Log 0b FAT32 	           7	FAT32 	MSDOS5.0	DRIVE_F 	 	              31000.3
07 	G:	Log 0b FAT32 	          8	FAT32 	MSDOS5.0	DRIVE_G 	 	             31000.3
08 	H:	Log 0b FAT32 	          9	FAT32 	MSDOS5.0	DRIVE_H 	 	             31000.3

Unfortunately, this did not change the problem.  I still need to try to
"pause" experiment.
