Yes, certainly.

Where?

Oh, and have you tried "fdisk /mbr" for your boot sector problem? The worst
you could do is whack your lilo config, which you could rewrite (rerun lilo)
once you boot off a Linux rescue floppy.

I can fdisk and repartition the snot out of the drive, but can not install
windows.
I installed SuSE 8.2 without a problem...didn't even sniff at the HD.
Windows installation always bombs out when its trying to write
allocation/System files.
Then again, I've known Windows to drag on sector 0 till it wore a physical
groove in the HD platter.
Whats the status on the Guerilla night at Dot's...is it Sunday 4-6 pm?
And most importantly, do they have a corner booth with an outlet where I can
setup the PC?
