   Actually it exhibited a size of around 6GB, after I "ghosted" over my 5GB   
   drive. Chalk that up to the way it works.   
      
   I think I'm under the impression that the partition is a set of pointers   
   that tell the operating system where to look on the hard disk for the rest   
   of the information. Some questions that generates are/is FAT32 vs NTFS vs   
   FAT vs whatever else you can have....This describes the formatted disk   
   drive, not the partition I reckon. (?)   
      
   Always wondered what NetWare did to the hard disks - what type of "file   
   system" did that use?  The Microsoft bigot would tell me that all of NetWare   
   ran on 8-bit DOS. As that was the "loader" to start up the OS.   
      
   But I digress.   
      
   The reason I used Ghost - the price was right. NFR - "Not For Resale".   
   Gratis from some chubby guy named Tim. Of course PowerQuest makes Partition   
   Magic which is up to version 8 today I understand. Have a working copy of V7   
   but it's in Portuguese or Spanish or something. I'm not saying where that   
   came from - but you can guess.   
      
   Likely I'll end up doing exactly as you say, starting over again with FDISK   
   on the drive and at least getting past that 137GB limit imposed by my   
   PC-BIOS and apparently my Win ME operating system.   
      
   Thanks again, mate.   
      
   Cheerio!
