Tim,

LOL!!!  I went through this same thing with a second drive on my laptop
as I did a fresh install of FC2 (old drive was FC1)....

BTW, the theory is to help us with SCSI dynamic drive assignment, but
most of us have IDE....

I wonder if we should file an RFE that would give us an install option
to prevent the automatic creation of these "wonderful" labels...
