It said "Access Denied." I googled on that problem for a while, and someone thought that if I disabled User Account Control and then took ownership of the volume it would work. I was able to disable the User Account Control, but couldn't find where to change the ownership of the volume. So someone else had said they had good results with the gparted live CD, so I burned that, and it seems to be doing the trick.

It's apparently worse than that; it deliberately puts some important files at the end of the partition. But if gparted turns out to clobber my windows, I can get back the factory version, and I haven't done anything important. Thanks for the help. This new computer is involving more work on Windows than I'm used to. I did watch a blu-ray disc last night (Slumdog Millionaire), and it is a good thing to have access to. I'll leave my netflix account on blu-ray at least until I move the new computer upstairs to be my desktop. -- Laura (mailto:lconrad-O0WJhd4tT3hg9hUCZPvPmw at public.gmane.org http://www.laymusic.org/ ) (617) 661-8097 233 Broadway, Cambridge, MA 02139 It can't be any new note. When you look at the keyboard, all the notes are there already. But if you mean a note enough, it will sound different. You got to pick the notes you really mean!
