This is urgent. If anyone can answer this quickly it would make a big difference to me. I have a 10.2GB drive which I've partitioned, and put some important data in the last partition. I'm now ready to set up the system which I intended to reside in the second partition, and I've realised there is a problem. I have made the first partition, more than 1024 cylinders long, so it seems I will need to re-arrange things in order to boot from the second partition. Can I do this safely without risking the data stored on the last partition? Is it just a case of makeing sure that the partition editor indicates the same offset and size for the partition when I set up the new layout?
