Maybe that explains why the MDK installer only let me use 9G of the 60GB
drive  installed in this laptop. :(  I wonder if PM would move any data
and allow me to resize the drive more.  

Or perhaps my best option is to just reformat and start from scratch. :)

I guess I could download the 27M demo and see what it says.

Thanks for the info,
