After a disastrous hard disk corruption, I want to minimise the
effects of any future recurrence by partitioning the disk and
making each partition into a logical volume - eg D: E: F: G:

I know that some manufacturers have their own (copyright) device drivers
to let you do this (and get past the 32meg limit?). However, before
I reinvent the wheel, i would appreciate it if anyone in NetLand who
has already written such a driver (or similar) and are prepared to share
it (or lessons learned), would mail me.

many thanks
