[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] Hard Disk Partitioning

v053qgzj@ubvmsb.cc.buffalo.edu (David M Snyderman) (12/10/90)

Hello again, all!
I'm running a Gateway 386-25 with Dos 4.01 and a 42MB disk partitioned into
about 16 and 26 MBs.  I would like to change the relative size of the
partitions-- to about 6 and 36 MBs.  Can any one suggest how to do this
without re-formatting?
Also, I am running a Diamond Speed Star.  Now that I can mail again (the
terminal program I was using fritzed at mail), anyone with questions(and I 
noticed a bunch), feel free to mail them to me.  I'll see what I can do about
answering them.

Unfortunately, no.  If you change the size of a partition, you must reformat
the drive.  As far as I'm concerned, with DOS 4.01 I'd just make one large
partition as drive C:.
