Hrm.  Can you still boot into Windows?  In the Windows Explorer, give D: a 
different volume name by right-clicking and choosing "Properties" or 
"Rename" ... try a single-letter, upper-case name.

You may even be able to remove the name entirely (by leaving it blank), 
tho Windows may not let you do that.

.: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;-)
