Oh, yes - I forgot to mention it in my write-up, but I actually recalled you raising that issue before, and adjusted the text of the rewritten criterion somewhat. Could you take a look and see if it's better now, or still needs improving? Thanks. In particular, what's the default 'multi-partition' layout of Win7/8?
