Wow Bob - thanks for a great Fdisk tutorial! You must have stayed up all 
night writing that. I use Fdisk semi-frequently (is that a word?) and don't 
usually have any problems with it except for occasional version conflict or 
limitation. It was very interesting for me to read all the details behind 
the scene. I also appreciated your listing a number of books for reference 
and research. I'd like to add one to the list of valuable books you 
mentioned. It is one that perhaps many list members are familiar with but I 
have found it extremely helpful in understanding underlying concepts and 
development of the PC - it's The Hardware Bible by Winn L. Rosch. I've kept 
it as a primary reference for computers both old and new. Though not 
marketed as a troubleshooting aid it's surprised me the number of times 
I've been able to solve a system or component failure by referencing his 
descriptions of how the system or component is supposed to work - then 
figuring out which part of the process is failing.
Thanks again Bob - good work.

Dave Rust
