That assumes that Windows 2003 is already live and not actually on the
Partition that was deleted.  I have access to several varieties of
Windows and none of them (so far) have been able to complete this
trick during system build IF there were already other partitions on
the drive.  =(

That is highly unlikely as most of the other instructors cannot spell Linux.
