   Can this active primary partition be located on the first drive after   
   another operating system.  For example can I move the current content of   
   Drive C for XP up a couple of Gb and install Open Server Unix as the first   
   OS on that drive.  There is plenty of room for all of Win XP and I will have   
   the capability of changing active partitions with a Boot diskette with a   
   good version of fdisk on it or from Unix with the Unix fdisk.   
      
   I will be losing access to Usenet tonight or tomorrow because Cox is   
   dropping it and I resent losing it and not getting a reduced rate from Cox.   
   I am now working on finding another server but may miss your answer.   
      
   Thanks,
