0412 -
0413 - 1545 Jarmon called back
0414 -
041401 - We decided to visit with Ross about his letter, per above. ref SDS 0
041402 - 2365
041403 -
041404 - Ross is on the line.  He has not configured the computer with the
041405 - operating system on a drive other than c:
041406 -
041407 - We confirmed that we want it in...
041408 -
041409 -                    i: 00 02
041410 -
041411 - ...as shown in the order. ref DRP 7 3233
041412 - ..
041413 - Ross advised that Partition Magic is not compatible with Windows
041414 - 2000, so they will use fdisk.
041415 -
041416 - I agreed, since that is what we wanted.
041417 -
041418 - Jarmon will give us a credit for Partition Magic. ref DRP 7 1176
041419 - ..
041420 - Ross will use fdisk to partition the drives, then install
041421 - Windows 2000.
041422 -
041423 - Answering Ross' question in his letter, per above, ref SDS 0 2365, I
041424 - said to make the partitions all the same size (about 2.5 GB since we
041425 - have 7 partitions).  With fdisk, the last disk sort of floats to the
041426 - remaining capacity, and so may be a little bigger or smaller.
041427 -
041428 -    [On 000508 Partition Magic is backordered instead of being removed
041429 -    from the invoice. ref SDS 9 5590
041430 -
041431 -    [On 000509 found that the partitions are not same size, and only 2
041432 -    are configured as FAT32. ref SDS 10 4831
041433 -
041434 - Ross asked how to install W2000 on i:\00\02 - per his letter
041435 - indicating he has no experience doing this. ref DRT 1 1551
041436 -

041438 - location is...

041441 -                       c:\
041442 -
041443 -
041444 - ...and ask that this be accepted or select an alternate location.
041445 -
041446 - Select an alternate location...
