If the drive has initially been setup as a single partition using all available space then you need a utility like Partition Magic to reduce the size of the original partition and create a new one. |

Or, DL BootIt NG ( http://www.bootitng.com ), unzip and execute BOOTITNG.EXE
to create the floppy, boot the floppy, and at the Welcome to Setup screen, hit Cancel, and follow the prompts to the partition manager. Now downsize the C: partition (w/ Resize), and use the freespace gained to allocate and format another partition. Hit Close, remove the floppy, and reboot. Jim "Paul (Erie)" wrote in message ...
