[aus.computers.ibm-pc] Partitioning hard disks

Hi All.

I am having a problem partitioning my hard disk. 
I can make the partition, but I cannot tell the computer to boot
off the partition.

The computer can boot off the disk if I have no partition, but as
soon as I partition it, and copy the system onto it(MSDos) the computer
locks up.

I have an Amstrad PC1640, and a Verbatim DataBank Hard card.

Some help would be greatly appreciated,

Emma Norling
