Hi all, I have been following this thread which by now might be dead or might have already answered my question, sorry but this is the downside of working out of town (and computer reach) for days and being in digest mode. I have used HDDs with multiple partitions (usually only 2, though) with decent success, I had problems, which I blamed on directory corruption on one partition, that forced me to reformat also the good one. This is and was the only reason for me not to partition all drives. Could you tell me more about this "partition jumping"? When does this happen and why? Could have that been the reason why even deleting files in one partition I couldn't get back the space I was supposed to? I blamed that on directory corruption and it happened to me twice in the last 2 years. Thank you in advance Cheers Andrea P.S.: Please all of you stop flaming each other. In this list there is a group of senior members, with Kyle as a prominent individual, and a fair number of rookies. Before going to the attack the new people on the list should attentively observe how much Kyle contributes to this group, and only after having come to the learned conclusion that he is not that knowledgeable they should start flaming him for correcting them. Kyle has corrected me more than once and I do not remember to have started a flame war (correct me if I am wrong) even if I believed until that moment that what I said was correct (it turned out it wasn't). __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
