I don't recall just what it can do, but take a look at www.ranish.com It's a partition manager I ran across some time ago and seemed to be free. HTH, :)) PJ *********************************************** *********************************************** Problem with Ranish Partition Manager is that=20 documentation is lacking, IMO. You do *not* want=20 to be fiddling with partitions if you are not=20 completely sure of what you are doing. I owe a=20 full reinstall of W2K to my inability to properly understand Ranish.
