Chris,

Thanks for tha speedy reply.  Nope - it is definitely not Windows
related.  Corel generously wiped my hard-drive during the install.  :-)

The Corel Installer is meant to be very good, but it was a little
high-handed as I wasn't quite ready to totally let go of Win, but hay I
feel cleansed!  ((It didn't seem to pick up on the partition I had
created with Pqmagic and I never got the option...))
