The partitioning is nothing physical --- it is just data at the beginning
of the drive.  

Any of you running Windows 98, Don't install Norton Systemworks 2001.  It
screws up your disk write path something horrible, or it did so to me and I
ended up not being able to recover - I could read the drive and did so and
got the data off of it.
