Using my USB drivers, it is possible to make a bootable USB disk or manipulate
partitions just using standard DOS tools (FORMAT, FDISK, SYS, etc.). You don't
necessarily need Windows or *nix to do that. The drivers still have a long
ways to go before they're really "good", but can be useful even in their
current limited state.
