This makes just as much sense as emm386 not working properly
when a non-DOS partition exists on a hard drive (just defined,
not used yet).  I fought this for quite a while before switching
to qemm386 which worked fine.  Of course MS ``Customer Support''
was clueless about this.

Why should DOS/Windoze care about anything outside the active DOS
partition?  But then, like all PC viruses, I guess it feels it has
a right to screw up the machine regardless of common sense.
