Thanks for the info, which explains a great deal, much of which is over the
head of this amateur.

I don't know how, but I reformatted and ended up with a 2.1 gig C: drive
formated in FAT32X, an extended drive with 2.1 D: and E: drives formated in

By God or By gosh, I ended up with about as good as I could have asked for.
