Warp Connect: fdisk: no options

I'm trying to install Warp Connect on my second hard disk, and the
installation goes OK until Advanced plonks me into fdisk.

Here's my partition table:

 Disk 1 2
�����������������������������������������������������������������������������
 Partition Information
 Name          Status               Access           FS Type
MBytes
�����������������������������������������������������������������������������
               None                : Primary         FreeSpace           1
               None               D: Primary         FAT               100
               None               G: Logical         HPFS              200
               None                : Logical         FreeSpace         201
               None               H: Logical         HPFS                9
               None                : Pri/Log         FreeSpace           1

The drive I want to install on is D:, but when I select it and press
enter, all the options except Delete Partition are not actioned! If I
delete the partition, or try on the other free space areas, there are no
actionable items at all!

I'm seeking opinions and ideas here. As I see it, my partion table is
flaky, and I can:
1) buy a flash disk repair tool and X my fingers
2) try a better fdisk (from Warp 4? Linux?)
3) switch the drive to the first, and see if that makes a difference
4) give up, install Connect on the first drive, formatting over my Warp 3

All of these have problems, so I'm...
5) posting to the net!


All suggestions welcome!

Regards
Gary
