Steve, My 200 meg drive was once a single partition. Late one night I decided to format a floppy in df0: As it started to format I woke up really quickly when I saw it was formatting the first of several hundred tracks. I aborted immediately, but too late. The first track of my hard disk had been reformatted. I sweated for several hours to restore all that data. Since then I, like you, believe in several partitions per hard disk! Pete Jones, flying on AutoPilot from Brussels, Belgium
