Try is, first, using real numbers instead of percentages, and see what
happens.

Gary, and others, hello.

I have downloaded the fix, but would like to know why it is an .exe fix? Couldnt microsoft simply
have put a newer version of Fdisk on their site for download?
With that in mind, (and the fact that I have now had cause to do a lot of reading on the subject)
would it be simpler, easier, and quicker to just download an 'ME' boot-disk and copy 'that' version
to wherever I may want it? It was microsoft that stated that MEs' version had been fixed.

I am not in the habit of using .exe's willy-nilly on my computer, so would the above work?
better still, is there somewhere that I can just grab the Fdisk newer version from without having to
bother about downloading a whole ME boot disk...... what a silly mannerism m/s has taken to
fix this...... no-one likes to run .exe's they are not sure of.

Thank you to all,,, (even the invisible) for input.
