Back about 15 or so messages, someone said that their hard disk had
a 20 meg "free space" partition. They were wondering how to use it.
Well, you can't have two apple partitions (on an apple disk, at least,
using HDSetup [I THINK!]), but you can delete the old partition and make
a new single, larger partition. NOTE: This destroys all the files in
the partition that you are deleting, so be sure to have a backup!
I have an apple 40SC hard disk in my Mac II, and noticed that there is
actually about 41 meg on the disk, the extra 1 meg being "free space",
so now I have a 41 meg drive...big deal, but every megabyte helps...
NOTE: I don't think you want to delete the partition marked as the
driver, or some such thing...
Now my question -- is there any harm in allocating ALL of the disk space
for the apple HD partition, or does it not matter.

This is a test of the emergency signature system. Were this an actual
emergency, you would see amusing mottos or edifying philisophical
statements. This is only a test.

Does anyone know why Apple does not support multiple Mac partitions? It's not hard to do in the driver. The only place it gets hard is in the formatter program, but they are dealing with partitions there, so that can't be the problem. Tim Smith
