If it comes down to this procedure, I believe I can do all of the above 
except for "fdisk the DOS partition". I have no idea what that is or how it's 
done. In any event, I loathe to take this final step because there are a 
number of (what I believe to be) high end CG programs on here. Even though I 
don't need them now, they're a nifty collection to have handy "just in case". 
I suppose if push comes to shove, I could somehow save the various works, 
projects, film that's on here with the idea of reacquiring their associated 
CG programs at a later date. There's a 24x CD burner on here which I've never 
used (the door says 4.2.24x). Any guesses on how long it would take to copy 
over about 3-4 gig of stuff?
