Greetings:

1) To Kurttrail: I posted a message to you basically the same as I posted to
John; it was a thank you message; I hope you received it;

2) To RA: Apology accepted; I just saw all the links in the Table of
Contents in the left column, and I simply could not find the specific part I
was looking for regarding partitioning;

3) To all: I didn't mean to start anything here; I was just humbly asking a
question to aid me in fixing my computer; I'm sorry if I did; it was not
intentional; I hope everyone in this community has everything going them for
them well continually.

Thank you. Ben J.
