	So is C:, isn't it? :-)  anyway, he won't be booted from the 
same drive he's repartitioning.  That'd be silly.  He's going to boot
a cd and run fdisk or whatever from there.

	Well, I don't think any 32 bit windows uses it for anything.  There's
no actual requirement that it be the first partition.  I'm pretty sure that
as long as the type and guid don't change anything actually using it to boot
should still work, not entirely sure about that though...
