Since you already spent the money Marcia, and you do want the program,
one option would be to reinstall and elect not to use version
four...the expert install I know, gives you that choice...
One word of caution from someone who did an all nighter with
7.2 saturday <grin>.
As soon as the partitioning program reads your table and gives
the panel to make the first change...Immediatly stick in a blank
floppy and hit the save to floppy button...this will make a copy of
the table that you can recover to, when the thing freezes.
There is something bad wrong with it, as I have heard too many
tales of woe..on this very list....one is going on right now.
In my case it would freeze and I would have to hit reset to
boot back to the CD...at that time the partition table is GONE..work
forward to the panel again and hit restore from floppy and you will be
fine again.
I never got past building an extended partition, nothing could
be put in it?.... although I gave it many tries..thanks to the
floppy..
I finally wound up using the wizard and it did OK but the
partitions are where he wants them and not like I wanted them.....
I am so glad I did not have to reinstall M$.. if I didn't have
that little backup, I would have likely went off the building...and
that would not have worked either as I live in a one story 8-).
