There is a tool called fips that may be of help to you, it is located on the cd in the tools directory (I think) otherwise it can be found at http://www.igd.fhg.de/~aschaefe/fips/ I've never used this, but I believe it is meant for similar tasks. (breaking up a partition for a new one can be created.) -Steve At 02:42 PM 1/25/00 -0800, you wrote: >OK, so extended partitions are a kludge, but I have a system already >running Windows with a 6 GB disk that is already partitioned into a 4 >GB primary and a 2 GB extended partition.
