There is, but it's tricky to manage if you decide this after the install. I have a feeling this only works if you do a 'boot from floppy' install (using the three installation disks) rather than winnt /b, but you can create and delete partitions during the install process as well as choose an unformatted section of the disk for install and let NT deal with formatting it prior to install. Some of these bit's aren't obvious if you are not aware that they are there, but the're not to hard to find if you know to look for them. Guy -- Zathros is used to being beast of burden to other people's needs. Very sad life. Probably have very sad death, but at least there is symmetry.
