Howdy!!
Well, this whole limitation is a bad legacy from the past.
It's was a BIOS limitation.
Ever heard Bil Gates saying his famous words: "640 Kb is enough" (ram
memory)?
They never thought that ram and diskspace would grow so big (my first 286
laptop had a "whopping" 1 MEGAbyte of ram, heh heh)
You need a disk manager program, or better: get Partition Manager
Check out this FAQ for most of your questions:
