OK, that's better. Btw, while it's okay to remove references to MS-DOS, please make sure that the
semantics of a sentence is not altered. For example, it's still valid to call DOS partition labels
by their original name as by contrast newer hardware uses GPT partition labels, for example. Calling
the old DOS partioning scheme "Windows partitioning" would not be correct.

Thanks,
Adrian
