Thanks, Norm
Partition Magic is one that wants this done. Probably because any new
partitions of an extended drive is going to start lettering from what is
already present.
On my other cprs that I partitioned, I had 8 partitions and 4 removable
drives so there wasn`t much of a gap between the last partition and the
first removable drive.
If I remember correctly, installing a program from a cd writes a path to
the drive from which installed (many kid`s games) and the path in the
shortcut was to a file on the CD (when the cd was required for running
the pgm).
Only problem with PM is as I posted above. 160Gb is largest it`s been
tested with and I want to partition 225GB.
I like the file cabinet approach.:>)
It` been a long time but I think this was also recommended back many
years ago.
