FDISK did fine. I removed the "E" partition, no problem
Oddly, though, the volume name for the "D" drive is "Af" and the keyboard's 
only giving me an uppercase "F" and it's not recognizing the volume name. 
Hence DOS/FDISK won't delete the "D" drive.
...any suggestions? (DOS is starting to come back to me now. Ohmygod;-)
Thanks
Ed W.
