I'm not sure if that's the right solution either.  I think we need a way
to nail devices down when partitioning disks.  We could just assign each
partition a 1-byte ordering number.  Partitions with a '0' would get detected
first, '1' second, etc...  Partitions with the same number would be detected
on a device-order basis, the way things work now.

Does anyone know how NT does this?  I guess I could play around with it
and see what Norton Disk Doctor turns up.

Thanks,

Jeff
