Thanks for the tips Bruce, maybe I can do this without Partition Magic after
all.  Is there a way to tell if my BIOS is LBA compatible?  I just purchased
this board last December and I flashed it once for some tweaks.  I checked
my board manufacturer's site (FIC) and didn't notice any BIOS updates
mentioning LBA, so am I to assume it already has it?
