Hmm...good to know. I don't know why it should partition differently in a
different machine, but I'll trust you =) Actually, I may not be putting it
in my desktop at all, since I plan on getting a PCMCIA CD drive.

That's the only part that has me anxious, because I've never used a laptop
or PCMCIA devices before. The drive says it's compatable with DOS, though,
so I'll just have to make sure the drivers get loaded. Nothing I haven't
done before =)
Thanks for all the advice, everyone. I should be getting the laptop and
all the accessories in the next couple weeks, I'll let you all know how it
goes.
