Explain.

With four *available* partitions, i can support up to six operating
systems (i have done it with zero problems).
Tossing the use of a partition for functions that can be included
with a given OS is stupid and wasteful.

Not quite what I meant.

In what way is linux a waste of partitions?

May i pete again: does not Linux waste a partition for "LILO"?

I got tired fighting Win7 as the problems mounted up..installing
obsolete drivers and having it both accept them and reject them; Device
Manager show them (and most work) &&&& having to do this a number of
times before it works.
Despite drivers for sound being "accepted" in the same way, NO sound
and error message that audio service is not enabled..and NO SUCH
"service" available.
Wiped the damn drive.
