OK. Not a problem =) I have thought about this some more and ultimately I cannot co mingle the OpSys in anything that the Windows students will need to delete. So, I'm back to square one using only one HD - /dev/hda1 is WinXP/2003 Server /dev/hda2 is /boot /dev/hda3 is swap /dev/hda4 is Extended (yadda yadda) with /dev/hda5 being Linux root / Normally I manually just set /dev/hda4 as the last primary without any extendeds but will try Mikkel's suggestion about using Partition 0 (/dev/hda1) as Extended and see what's what then =) -- WC -Sx- Jones | http://ccsh.us/ | Open Source Consulting
