I tried to use Partition Magic and for some strange reason
it was unable to modify the disk partitions. Some thing about
denied access to the hard disk. I'll try ti again and see if
I can record the actual error message.

Well, if you get frustrated and want to try another tool, try Acronis
Disk Director (US$50).  I use it and like it.

OK Russell thanks. One of the interesting things Part. Magic
does is generate an autoexec.bat file that does not do
anything until  you reboot your computer.
That is when you get the surprise error messages.
You think everything went fine until you reboot
the computer and that is when you get the bad news :)
