Hi Judah!
Pretty close ... I think I read earlier today that you can't have a space
in that command.
<shocking confession>
I don't 'fdisk' often.
I KNOW! You wouldn't think it to look at me ... but it's true.
So I 'cheated' and surfed around for some instructions ... the ones I ended
up stealing were pretty emphatic about not including any spaces in that
command.

>>Look for an old copy of Norton Disk Doctor.
Oh wow! ... ;-) ... Cool! ... You got me good, dude ... I had
*completely* forgotten about that! You are right! That was a
pretty good utility.
(Dang! I wouldn't have guessed you were old enough to 'member that!)
Good call!
(There ain't no way I'm gonna find a copy - but yeah - an excellent
recommendation anyway!)
Thanks!
RonL.
