	Well, CPB failed me miserably as well, but Diskette Factory did make my
set properly.  I don't recall it backing up the bundled software, but I'm
one of those people who dumps everything but the OS anyway.
	Why were you partitioning the drive with only a 360?  I thought DOS
couldn't get below 8KB/cluster, and that's anything smaller than 500MB.  I
partitioned my 360 when I installed OS/2, and I didn't noticed any
improvement in cluster size efficiency.
	As for the GPFs and such, welcome to Windows!  I recommend spending a
couple hundred bucks or so and get 16MB of RAM and the Win95 upgrade - runs
great on the 701.
