Typo! should read "can't" , or "cannot have more than three primary partitions" Note that there is often some weirdness mounting windos partitions from un*x. My FBSD4.8 can't access a windos logical/extended partition, though in that condition windos is happy, but can access that same partition as primary, though windos then hides the partition(and I have to manually un-hide it). On another system, an extended partition is inaccessible as dos, but is seen fine by both winNT and Un*x as NTFS. Weird. -- Regards, Brian
