Actually, I don't think this is a valid point because as long as the first few meg of the disk isn't affected, the FAT will be intact. Its just that some things that it points at will be stuffed. This actually caused me a few problems working with a Compaq machine once ... I deleted the existing (whole disk) partition, re-created it a few meg up (in preparation to add the diagnostics partition at the beginning of the disk) but things stuffed up ... ran a disk diagnostics tool and it picked up the OLD copy of the FAT (because I hadn't erased the beginning of the disk yet) ... *sigh* file systems do weird things don't they? - Raymond P.S.
