On many modern systems and/or disks it's causing more problems than it claimed to solve. PC hardware expects to see a disk with a DOS-style partition table. That's just a fact of life. On a multi-gig disk the measly few megabytes that you "lose" this way are totally insignificant. Good luck, Doug -- I need someone really bad. Are you really bad?
