Hi Laurent, Thanks a lot! That is real useful advice!!! The external is a 250 GB USB drive. The Pismo still has the original 6 GB HDD. Since I never looked into it, I never even had an idea partitioning like that would make reformatting, erasing etc. on the rest of the HDD possible... That

Thanks a lot again, Laurent! I will save your mail for later, so I will not forget anything! I forgot your internal drive was only 6GB and your external 250GB. Since you might upgrade your internal drive for a larger one, I would suggest you create a larger partition on your external drive so

Holy Smoke, My PB can't find its system folder! I had loaded 9.1 over 9.0 in order to get netscape to get paypal... It would lock up and someone suggested I put a ~ in front of my Iomega Driver, which I did, and rebooted...then I tried to open my old Fractual Expressions program and it froze.
