Don't listen to this advice. I don't have xp, but this is where you would go for windows 2000 and it should be somewhat like this. Go to the Control Panel. Then go to Administrative Tools. Then you want to open Computer Management. In the left pane you will find something for Disk Management. I doubt it will allow for non-destructive resizing. Now before going too far, if you have a zip drive and floppy you can set this up without needing to create a dos partition on your hard drive. Format a zip disk with fat. Then put the files onto that disk. You will also bootable floppy with the dos level drivers. Another option is to add an inexpensive disk and make set it up with a fat partition. ======= Kirk Wood Cpt.Kirk at 1tree.net Nowlan's Theory: He who hesitates is not only lost, but several miles from the next freeway exit.
