In my opinion it is good that you have the option to buy a PC with or without the operating system. What really sicks me is that absurd idea of the preinstalled OS. I got an Acer laptop, they (almost sure) charged me for the OS, but they didn't give me the official WinXP Pro disk: it was

Hi, 2) Vote here, keep Free DISK or switch to XFDISK Well so far I really like FDISK, it's small and fast and appears to do everything it's supposed to. I've never needed to use the GUI. I have not been hit by the MBR bug, despite testing on a wide range of systems with both SCSI and IDE

Hi Michael: I dual or triple boot all of my machines and routinely switch from DOS to WindowsXP and back. So, this makes sense. Frankly, XP makes for a more convenient Web and e-mail interface (IMHO! :-)). So, during much, even most, of my testing, I boot XP a lot...sometimes just to copy

Hi Johnson, GUI (the current version should be UI) Sorry, UI is for the beginners and operators, I don't mind using UI or GUI since FDISK is not a TSR, size is not a problem. And easier navigation only made the program more user friendly, you can keep using command line. Yes, I'm not
