   I'm inclined to believe this, however I need to be schooled a bit in what is   
   a partition and what is a formatted drive. I'll assume the partition was put   
   on there, as I ghosted, but nothing formatted. Yet when I write to the   
   drive - no problem.   
      
   But I bet you're right about the ahead of time FDISKing.   
      
   Thanks for actually reading stuff here....   
      
   Kind regards.
