-=PCTechTalk=- partitioning external hard drives

this came at a perfect time for me as have a 200 gig external I want to 
divide - I was thinking Partition Magic too as it's the one that is usually 
mentioned but I googled for instructions and found that since it's a Maxor 
it should have software to help me partition it but if not they gave 
instructions to do this through XP - I haven't tried it yet but plan to 
later as my other external is getting full and I need to take things off my 
internal before I lose them - Dolores
