Uhh... cant u just do a search and replace in the source and make the partition ID into something like BABE..?:) Which programs are checking the parition ID anyway, except the boot code ?
Hmm... I guess you can see this is another bad thing that happens when you start bundling too much stuff together with OS... if Microsoft had sticked to only making OSen and not bundling everything into it, they would not have run into all this hassle... Internet Explorer, Stacker, this defragging software... the list goes on. Seems like the old saying of sticking to your corebusiness still holds some truth....?
Well... The moral of this story has to be something like "dont use lamp shades". Some evil cracka surely will hide an automatic buffer-overflow-tracker-IR-transmitter in there. But without the shade you are safe. Good point Jane, thankya. This is certainly more important than good backups. Jane, c'mon give your readers some respect...
