[usually use Partition editor in FBSD sysinstall] If you want to keep 400 megs out of the second HD for more Windows storage, and the Hard Drive is already partitioned, you can use a freeware utility called FIPS to create a second primary partition. I just used FIPS a couple of weeks ago, and despite the (obligitory) ominous warnings, it is very easy to use and safe, and if anything goes wrong, you can undo the changes and try again (or give up and pay somebody to try again...) Good Luck! Jtkipp@students.wisc.edu
