Hi Heinz, Hmm, looks like I was right. His extended partition runs past the end of the drive. This is caught by RC6 and is causing his logical partitions to not show up. From what I can see, it looks like his partitions will come back when the half drive size problem is fixed. On a side note, what do you think of an error message for the partition overrun error. Do you want me to throw something together or do you think it is worth it?
