Yes, I sometime get the Meg and Gig switched. I don't recall what I said but
it is all moot now. Here's the exciting story.
Because someone said that Linux was good at showing partitions I ran my live
Ubuntu disk and opened G-Parted, a partitioning program. I knew about it
because I have a version on CD that I downloaded. I didn't think I was
making any permanent changes but somehow G-Parted clobbered the whole hard
drive. This would be a disaster if I didn't have my C partition Ghosted to
my external HD. So I am in the process or running the Dell OS install disk
so that Ghost will see a partition to copy the cloned C drive to. It won't
matter how I configure the OS at this time it will all be wiped and the
clone copied to the C partition. Unfortunately all my other partitions were
clobbered too. But those also were backed up on the external. I have made
lots of mistakes over the years but as time goes by I manage to do the right
thing that enables me to recover. Anyone who is Kibitzing this message,
remember BACK UP YOUR DATA. And if you have only one computer get an
external Hard Drive and back up to that. And if you can, clone your C
partition. OH, and this is yet another reason to partition your hard drive,
your C partition will be smaller and thus easier to back up to smaller
media.
