I*I*RC, if you order DOS FDISK to create a primary partition and
there is already one on the disk it just sits there and says:
"Can't you see that there is already one primary partition? I
won't do that!"
Just tried it out last night on a Win-only machine with one
primary partition of 1.0G and 3G left unpartitioned. DOS/WIN98
FDISK didn't do it. I booted a miniLinux and used Linux fdisk.
