"Zmirky" wrote in message ... thanks! OK btw: I hope you were using the updated version of fdisk if fdisk does not "see" the whole drive then you will need the newer version such as you can get from a win ME bootdisk ( see www.bootdisk.com ) |

To manage your partitions there's a program called "Partition Magic" which
is really great. - JM "philo" skrev i meddelandet ... "Zmirky" wrote in message ... thanks! OK btw: I hope you were using the updated version of fdisk if fdisk does not "see" the whole drive then you will need the newer version such as you can get from a win ME bootdisk ( see www.bootdisk.com ) |
