On my system it's the last partition on the disk. You may have to format it with a magic DOS utility - on my current system it's PHDISK.EXE. I've seen PHDISK programs shipped with various vendors' laptops, but from Dell's support pages, it seems that RMS2D.EXE and MKS2D.EXE are the programs you want. http://support.dell.com/us/en/filelib/download/index.asp?fileid=R19833 or http://support.dell.com/us/en/filelib/download/index.asp?fileid=R8009 may be what you need. You'll have to make a bootable DOS floppy to run MKS2D.EXE from. You should probably back up anything important before you run MKS2D.EXE. There's a good chance that it will blow your partitions away. -- William Aoki - [EMAIL PROTECTED],{raven.umnh,eng}.utah.edu} | ~ 8013639099 Hi! I'm a .signature virus!
