Nope, it's not that simple. Win'98 can see my entire 30GB HDD without any overlay. If I used it to write to the partitions beyond 8GB, I'd expect them to become corrupt. I'm asking if there's a way to deliberately prevent Win'95/98 seeing the partitions, but which would not prevent Win'2K seeing the whole drive (I'm thinking it ought to be automatic, whichever OS you choose to boot, gets to see what is appropriate). ************************************************************** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ - Archives -------TO UNSUBSCRIBE------- Reply to any of the list messages.
