That's why I asked the above quoted question. I wanted to make sure that you
didn't need to merge partitions. PlusMaker is a nice utility, but not worth the
$29.99 cost.

For the record ... I have to say that FWB makes the worst Disk Utility Suite.
Intech's Hard Disk Speedtools is far superior. It gives you better disk
drivers, and allows for more flexible formatting. I would NEVER recommend using
FWB. Even Apple's Drive Setup makes FWB pale in comparison.

Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with
the surrounding environment, but you humans do not. You move to an area and you
multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed. The only way
you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this
planet that follows the same pattern...do you know what it is? A virus.
