Thomas,

Thanks for the help. I have tried this in Disk manager to no avail
unfortunately. On the Active 1GB the option to Delete Partition and also to
Make Partition Active are greyed out. On the unallocated 1GB New Partition
is greyed out.

Still stuck unfortunately, anyone know of how to get round this....

Many thanks
Paul
