I saw something similar whilst I was out at W.C. ``Bob'' got himself a new machine with an IDE hard drive, and ``fips'' refused to reduce the size of the DOS partition 'cos it's checksum failed when checking the MBR it read in. Seems it was somehow pulling the MBR from the WRONG place on the disk. This machine ONLY had Win95 on it. Anyone see a link? Does Win95 somehow mess up something to do with the MBR? Gary
