	Yes.

>Silverlining uses soft partitions, correct???

	No. SUM uses soft partitions - it makes a file look like a disk
partition. Silverlining does its partitioning at the driver level, but you
can change the partitioning without reformatting the hard disk. I like to think
of this as "firm" partitioning.

	Hard partitioning requires that you reformat the hard disk if you
want to change the partition layout of the disk after you've set it up.

>What is the best hard partitioning software???

	I hear GCC's software is pretty good, and so is MicroNet's, but you
have to buy one of those drives to get the software. SilverLining can be bought
without a hard drive, and it includes its own optimization function, so you
won't even have to buy DiskExpress (and it's a couple of orders of magnitude
faster, too...)
