Of course you are right but I didn't mention Win9x because:

1. It is much easier to use there so a step by step tutorial isn't
necessary.
2. I explicitly wanted to cut down all the possible scenarios to the
most popular one - and that should be WinXP in the meanwhile.

I intentionally used a very verbose command line as the handling of
defaults in Disk2FDI has changed in the past and is likely to change
again when FDI support comes back. And I wanted to increase the
possibility that the command line is still correct when somebody
googles it in the future.
