Reminds me of Windows 3.1 not being capable of making a permanent swap 
file if you have a SCO partition somewhere else on your HD. ("The 
partition sheme of your HD doesn't allow for a permanent swap file.") 
Just tell me somebody why the hell win does have to look at partitions 
that don't belong to it....

The funny part: when the SCO partition was changed to a Linux partition 
the problem was gone.... (seems Win 3.1 doesn't recognize Linux :)
