Re: Partitioning trouble

Hi,

How many partitions do you already have on the disk? If you have two
primary partitions on there already, you can add only two more--4 is all
it will support. I ran into this with an oem installed system that uses
a primary partition for backing up the os, etc. There are some
partitioning products that are supposed to let you add more primaries,
but I haven't used them.

Good luck,

Joe Trent
