I've got a bigger drive than that on a Win98SE box, so I don't think the limit is due to "Windows". > Backuping the data on DVD will be the waste of time. Some would argue differently. You're about to play with partitioning, that's a very good reason to have a backup. Sure, it might take a lot of time, but I don't think I'd call it a waste. If you've got 200 gigs of data that you want to keep, then backing it up is a worthwhile thing to do.

Mounting a drive shuffles the drive letters around. At least you avoid some of that if you don't have a primary partition, it didn't shuffle them all around (all the other primary partitions stayed as they were). -- (Currently running FC4, occasionally trying FC5.)
