For all you computer gurus.
What is the simplest way to add a partition to the hard drive
on my Windows 98 IBM notebook computer.

Hi Paul -

Over here , Partition Magic  is the recognized procedure !   I dunno if IBM
still does un- natural things to the  PC architecture  for its laptops like
Compaq & HP ,  &  ICL  but hopefuly , if the  Partition - table protection is
turned OFF in Bios setup ,  then  non - destructive resizing  can go ahead if
1, the drive is de- fragged and 2. you know where the used data area stops.

Note that Partition table protection is also known as     " Virus Warning "
- on my Pc it flashes up a warning , and totally blocks any attempts to touch
it - Neat !

Mandrake Linux - what I am typing this on -  has a  copylefted version of
P.M. - " DiskDrake "  and it seems to do the deed.
