Now, } partitions of up to 32 MB in size are possible. } } While looking at the WINCAP file provided on the hard disk driver disk, I } noticed that there is an entry for the maximum partition size in sectors } which amounts to 16 MB (and is marked "*** don't change ***"). } } Am I correct in thinking that I would only need to double this value and } then be able to create a 32 MB partition using the HDX partitioning option ? No, you are not correct. The fatal flaw in your logic is believing the rumor that the 16MB limit was gone. It is not gone; it's still there. Please don't flame me for inaction. It took action for me to determine that I couldn't safely remove the limit. ============================================ Opinions expressed above do not necessarily -- Allan Pratt, Atari Corp. reflect those of Atari Corp. or anyone else. ...ames!atari!apratt
