I am unfortunate enough to be forced to have an NT partition due to
the fact that at work we use MS-mail for our internal mail and AFAIK
Unix tools don't work with it.  Just curiosity I tried to upgrade 6.1
and as foretold it crashed.  Then I changed the identifier to one of
the Win95 types don't remeber if it was b or c and it worked.

Of course this is now a moot point but it was my word. :-)
