WARNING!  If you put a FAT partition after a non-FAT partition, every
version of Microsoft non-X non-11 windows[R] FDISK command that I have ever
seen will screw up.  Windows 2000 might or might not be safe with it; I
haven't tried.  Anyway it doesn't hurt to play this one safe and put the FAT
partition before the non-FAT partitions.

Yours sincerely,
