<rant> !"��$ Microsoft... Windows 98, vanilla install, is annoying me (no surprise there, I hear you cry) in that it wants to 'correct an error in the boot sector' from the windows scandisk before it will allow me to defrag. I strongly suspect that the error is either o the disk is 20G and it wants to do something unpleasant to the partition table, or o it doesn't really like the idea of dual booting with lilo and is going to fdisk/mbr it. So, I haven't let it have its wicked way with it, and for now the damn thing can remain fragged. Anybody else seen anything like this? And why the hell can't MS tell people what the !"�$%^& error *is*? </rant> Okay, I'll go back to bed now. Btw, Pres, I wouldn't have caught that USB on the 110 extender query- nicely done!
