- No big loss here. DOS 5.0 won't give you the HPFS partition either,
- nuch less detect it. I don't see a problem with this. For years DOS
- could not use or detect a concurrent UNIX partition on the disk; it
- just reported it as a non-DOS partition. You also had to use FDISK
- to see that it was even there.

- Finally some sense out of this thread...
