Once SC7 is installed, can you actually run it from a CD instead of the
version that's in the MBR?

Hey, cool! It works. I didn't even know this CD was bootable. I do get
the partitioning screen this way. Maybe there's some life here after
all!

I'll say thanks before I try the resize and end up losing the whole
machine!  ;-) (Nothing on it except Pro Tools which I can reload if
necessary. I just got it Saturday.

No floppy in these silly laptops now! Must go buy a USB floppy drive I
guess. (At least I haven't found the floppy.....they hide things on
these machines like those Japanese Transformer toys...) ;-)
