John,

Yes I changed my partition a few times before I settled on the optimum 
distribution. It was all accessible with JAWS -- and in those days JAWS 8.0.

  I just checked and I was using partition magic 8.0. It didn't work for the 
more complicated of tasks. I can see partitioning a brand new drive with 100 
percent allocation, but to resize a partition is another story. Perhaps they 
came out with a different version of 8.0. Can you resize partitions? I would 
use the updated version given that it might be more accessible. I naturally 
gave up playing with it after the first attempt. What I discovered is that it 
is mostly graphical information, plus I didn't want to confuse other hard 
drives and accidentally select the wrong one. When did you download this 
software? Is it compatible with windows 7?

    Hi Dave;

    I have also used Partition Magic 8.0 to partition the HardDrives of 3 
computers, with no problems.  If you would like to take a look at the manual 
for PM 8.0, I will send it to you off list.  Take care.

      Hello Everyone:

      As I have mentioned before, I purchased 2 new SATA internal hard drives, 2
      TB capacity.

      I used an disk image program called Image for Windows, which is very
      accessible using JAWS, to create an image of my existing aging 160 GB IDE
      drive.

      I intend to use Image for Windows, to restore the disk image to one of 
the 2
      TB drives.

      However, when I have done that, there will be an unallocated partition
      containing the remaining available free space for that drive.

      What disk partitioning software can I use, that is accessible using JAWS, 
to
      resize the newly created partition and create, allocate  and format the
      remaining extended partition for that drive?

      Thanks in anticipation.

      Cave Durber
