Ahhh. I have just found the thread you are referring to in the archives.
That explains it I think. I do indeed have a dangerously dedicated disk
because I only run the one O/S on it and never need it to be compatible
with anything else. So it looks like 7.x did things wrongly and now in 8
it's working as designed.

Thanks for this.
