Well, I know NOTHING about computers, but here's my Australian 2cents. Have you defragged your computer? If your using Windows 98 a good program to use is FIPS, that gives u instructions on how to partition your harddrive and what to do if it doesn't work.
If your using Windows XP then a good program to use is Partition Magic, which I've heard you can download through Imesh and get a crack with it, I didn't do this of course........ Hope this helps John. >From: "Blood Slap" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: "Newbie Linux-Mandrake" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: [newbie] cannot partition >Date: Mon, 25 Mar 2002 22:36:53 -0700 > >I've been using windows on a 12 GB FAT32, and just used Norton Ghost to >transfer it to my new 40 GB.
