Thanks Vincent, I pushed no ulterior motive. I accept that you may suspect otherwise. My ask for sanity was for a "new compuser" just trying to recover what was there before. In his old(world=XP) with D:/, E:/, and maybe F:/. Personally. I am just asking questionsof the Collective. I accept that whatever I have ever known could be screwed. Accepted. I am just asking questions. Thank you, Duncan

Partition master free is a good program. As with all free stuff now, be careful for the add-ons. Mini-tool is also excellent. As usual results improve if you RTFM <g>... Dare I ask if there is some ulterior motive guiding the decision to sub-divide the drive? That might alter the directions. I used to partition like a madman but now I probably partition less overall. Basically, I need the real estate for backups. My OS / program files is stable now for some years to I'm pretty good at mapping a c:\ partition and a separate one for docs, music, data, presentations, etc. I backup my data partition (separate from c:\) in several places across machines. Everything else is linux downloads and ATI backups. Pretty vanilla overall.

Are you folk promoting 'GPARTD', or 'DPARTD?' My OB is now consedidering adding NEW partitions to his 1TB EM HD. OK, Fine. Please use 'Disk Management.' Fine. Now, he is confused about M$'s use of the term 'Volume.; I understand and explained it to him via my 'nas-speakabout 'volumes.' I don't think he grasps the concept(s). Perhaps I do not either, but, I'm still stickin' to my previous EM HD education. I'll be happy to apologize if necessary. Thanks, Duncan
