Thanks for your reply Paul.
I should have said in my original post that my 6Gig drive with Win 95 on it
is all one partition. That's why I was wondering if what was already on
there would be wiped. I bought Partition Magic and have spent the last two
weeks trying to get it to work. For some reason it will not work on the
Maxtor drive in my Sony computer. When it is told to make changes it drops
to dos and dies. Because of that I was hoping that I would be offered the
opportunity to do the partitioning from within the install and still have my
Win 95 to use as a backup for my main computer.
Thanks
John
