There are a couple of utilities that can break a primary partition into two smaller primary partitions, depending on what operating system you are using right now. *FIPS for Windows with FAT16 or VFAT *FIPS 1.5 for Windows with FAT32 *Partition Magic (~$60) for Either of above. Can adjust partition table in all sorts of ways. *There is a shareware partition table editor, but I con't remember what it is called. As for the test list, evidently, it's closed. Since you're getting this reply, You don't need to use the test list. :P ------------ "... that's why we need a name that's cutting edge: Like CutCo, or EdgeCom, InterSlice...."
