Or even, work only with the highest up customer support. I called the general manager's
office (of the whole PC company), and I got to someone who helped the whole machine get fixed.
Unfortunately, I have to deal with my broken machine now until I get a suitable replacement...

It defines partitions for the HD. Looks like I'll use it to dump Win95 when I get my 1.4GB HD.
If you want multiple OSes such as NT, Win98, OS/2, and/or Linux, you would use fdisk to define a partition
for each. But the DOS fdisk has some problems, and I much more prefer OS/2 and Linux' fdisk.
