It sounds like the original poster needs to partition a disk that already has data on it, and if I'm not mistaken, the Win2k disk manager tool would probably lose everything on it. There might be a workaround, but it'd be safer to use a tool that is set up for this sort of thing from the start (aka Partition Manager, but free).
On the other hand, if you did it yourself on your 80g disk and it had data and it survived, it would be interesting to hear about it. That would be good news. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Bo Peng Sent: Tuesday, September 03, 2002 6:03 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Free partitioning software ? If you are using win2k, you can use its own disk manager to make partitiona, format etc. And then run Linux installation. It worked well for me, even for my 80G HD.
