The solution provided allows for use of Win95 but does
not answer how to partition the hard disc.
I have a 60 GB hard disc which has a primary basic
partition of 31 MB FAT configuration and a (C:)volume of
55.84 GB NTFS system (48.45 free).
The information on partitioning says that the Disk
management utility will indicate free space and clicking
on this area will activate the Wizard. I presume C: has
been allocated all the space and I cannot get the Wizard
activated or am reading the instructions wrong..
How do i partition the hard rive to get another logical
drive. I need this to run a programme that requires two
partitions.
If possible please help..
Thanks
