To be honest, I don't really know.  I think it is one big FAT32.  It is 
definitely only one partition.  It is 40Gigs in size.

Presumption verified.

Yeah, thats what I'm thinking.  I've got a lot of 'free' software on it, 
so I don't necessarily want to lose it all, which is why the bother.  I 
think sacrefice the software (most of which I may never use) and re-
fomat with a multi boot.
