>The problem presently is that there is one partition C: and one allocated of 7 MB. The only think I can do with the C: partition is Delete, Format, Convert. I cannot resize it. I just don't know what steps are required to take 120 Gig of that one and make that as a D: drive.
Perhaps there are some incompatibities with version 6. Other options:
- put the new drive as a slave into a Windows 2000 system, then parition it
- use Gparted (download, burn to a CD, the boot the computer and resize the partition)
