Yes. In fact, you can even specify the size of the allocation (cluster) that you want and Partition Magic will tell you the maximum size of the partition that you can have, e.g., for one of my 2.1GB partitions, I went to the resize operation and indicated that I wanted a 2K cluster and PM said that I needed to resize to 125.5MB. I was in an electronics supply store (not a computer store or discount store) the other day and they had a couple of copies of the latest PM on the shelf for US$49.99 with a US$15.00 mail-in rebate. BTW, in the last couple of days I have found out some more things WRT DOS, large HDs, and PM that I will share with you in a couple of days. (The last couple of days has, to say the least, been very frustrating!) Roger Turk Tucson, Arizona USA
