If I install FreeBSD on a partition of the drive, using the FIPS utility to create a partition for FreeBSD, can I later expand the partition (if I remove Dos)? Can I later remove the FreeBSD partition (move FreeBSD to another drive) and have DOS reuse the space? I would like to be able to install FreeBSD now. As the need for more space grows I would then purchase a new drive. Once I have the new drive I woyuld then want to move either DOS or FreeBSD to it. But I don't want to cause alot of future work like having to reinstall or possibly lose any files that have been created in either OS system. I tried looking at the FAQ's but was unsuccessful at finding an answer. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Ross
