Does your DiskWizard show some text on the screen when your pc starts up? I
use EZ-Drive, which loads and then gives me the opportunity to press CTRL
key before Windows loads so that I can boot from a floppy and still have
access to all of my partitions. That would be your best bet to be able to
use your whole harddrive, if you can do it.
