But what does this line mean, then? Has it changed...?...

Primary Master User 7921 MB ....LBA

... If so, to what? If it now says "Auto" there, does it still say
just 7921 MB? Is it still LBA? Could be you also need to delete those
empty partitions you've got before the BIOS will detect the hard
drive right. But I just don't know, not for sure.

Good news

In my BING screen "Work with Partitions", I created 4 FAT32 partitions.
They completely use the 10 GB hard drive, no free space.

The first 3 are listed in the screen with names including ANP, the last
one is MBR Entry 3. There is no indication the first partition is active.
Does BING do that automatically?

When I created the last partition, it went OK. When it completed
formatting and error checking, looked OK but now at the top of the screen
is the legend "errors exist". I looked in Properties in each partition,
no error notation.

Comment?
