 I'm the friend Andy's trying to help......

 Yes, I know how FDISK is _supposed_ to work, however it doesn't do it on
 my system.

 When the last partition (the Type B) is deleted, ALL the options in FDISK
 is greyed out. "Create partition" and "Install Boot Manager" is not an
 available option.

 When I get home next weekend, I'll follow your suggestion re; FDISK with
 the command options.

  Thanks.


 Have a GREAT one!
