No I most certainly am not!

However, with your comment about Windows 7 requiring GPT, you are,
unless you can provide some other explanation. The only
software-changeable disk requirement Win7 makes that I could think of
was NTFS. WinXP could still be installed on FAT32 or even FAT16 if you
wanted; that only changed with Vista/7.
