- Have some guts, BACKUP, and go for it! :-) My guess is that "Do you
- want to delete Drive A?" is talking about the name of the OBJECT, not
- drive A itself. I personally would make a quick backup and do it, but
- you have to ask yourself "What is the worst that could happen and what
- would I lose if it did happen."
