Hi Jesus,
Yes, I've always got a rescue disk close at hand these days, especially
since my memory started going bad - funny how a brain injury can sneak
up on you like that :-(

Hmm... the last time I saw a floppy around here it was being used as a
coaster for a certain bubbly refreshment...

LOL, there you go. For some reason I never even thought about a GUI
tool. it's weird, I can remember some things without trying and when I
want to remember, poof! nadda, flat-line.

Thanks to those who dropped a hint here and there, I've got things
pretty much figured out. I still need to get the WinXP entry sorted out
yet but there's no pressure, I haven't booted that partiton in months
anyway.

Thanks again!
