The scene is my wife's laptop. Previously I had a WinXP Pro and Linux dual
boot setup. Using Norton Partition Magic, I deleted the Linux partitions.
So far everything's okay, machine still boots. Then I used Partition Magic
to move the WinXP partition forward on the disk to where the Linux Partition
was so I could later extend it backwards

Best to only have one OS on a laptop.
