Thanx to everyone who posted and sent e-mail. Not having disk express I finally decided to back up the HD and reformat. I went to my dealer (Computer Attic) to make sure I had the right Utils for my HD (a Seagate 60 meg). I did not. They did not give me the right utils in the first place. I finally got the right utils and it included a partition util. Needless to say I was not thrilled with finding this out this late in the game. However everything worked out fine. If you need to partition your HD. Make a backup and reformat the drive then partition it. It seems easier and less of a headache. This is my opinion. It may not work in every case but if it is possible it seems the easist way. Again Many thanx to all, rob snevely rdsesq@jessica.stanford.edu
