You need to: Right Click on the "My Computer" icon on the desktop. Select "Manage" from the menu that pops up The computer management console pops up. On the left select the "Disk Management" options and the right hand pane changes to display the disks attached to your PC. Look for the one with no drive letter assigned and then right click and "Create Partition". Follow the wizards - defaults are fine - and there you go! _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
