That would be strange...CiderPress operates at the lowest level allowed by the OS. On Win2K and later, it can view (and overwrite) the partition map.

I suspect that "allowed by the OS" is the operaqtive phrase. I'm doing this on a Vista laptop, and it doesn't want to allow CiderPress to overwrite block 128. I'll try using Diskpart to clobber it and see if that works. -michael NadaNet 3.1 for Apple II parallel computing!
