other than the style of writing (for which I'm *not* going to apologize :))?

No, a real nerd takes a plane to Canada to listen to others talk about

Yes? The disk probably wasn't fully wiped by the NT install, nor was the
bootblock cleared. The first will have happened if the kernel was nowhere
near the low end of the disk, the second is one of the lesser known issues
with Microsoft's fdisk: it will only reset the MBR if you use fdisk /mbr .
