I don't think that will work as he has his extended partition ending at 10055 which is where sda9 ends. At this point his only option is to backup sda5-sda9, delete them and then recreate the extended partition using all of the available space. He will then be able to created more partitions. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
