Creating the FAT32 partition is quite easy and you can do it either during the install or after shrinking the Windows partition and creating the partition in Windows. I hope that's what you were asking about, as if you want to know about moving the "My Documents" folder, I'll have to boot my ThinkPad into Windows. Do you have any means of shrinking an NTFS partition? There are a few utilities, both open source and commercial for doing that. -- Use OpenOffice.org <http://www.openoffice.org> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
