My post before this one explains why i cant do it...did you read it?
my 80GB disk kind of resets itself when i install XP onto Me...it shows 35 instead of 80 and the only way i know of fixing is running my boot disk which fixes the problem but DELETES ALL DATA on the 80GB disk....so thats why i must keep my 40GB the primary...but ill see what i can do about the partitioning thing
