You are our rock :-)

I am simulating Fred on the other machine right now.
We'll see whether Simulated-Fred enters the Matrix or not.

One thing that is interesting, is it is possible the MBR2GPT behavior
varies from one version to the next. It still does not seem to have handled
the ReagentC partition quite right (it claims an attempt to "repair" it
did not work), but it seems the GPT attribute was changed from 0x1 to 0x0
and that is why the Disk Management appearance of the partition is not
correct. After fixing that and setting it back to 0x1 (means "Important" as
an attribute for the partition), the label is back to rendering correctly
in Disk Management. The ReagentC did not need to be repaired after all
(because the new method used by the MBR2GPT of 19045 DVD does not
change the partition numbering and no longer looks stupid).
