Things so smoothly for me and I can learn from others and then something pops up for me :-) I have used partition magic before and did not have this result so question 1 - I partitioned a 300 gig into 2 parts and the fist part shows up in My Computer as well as all its contents in a blue color - the 2nd part is normal - is this something I can ignore or could it cause me to lose things I store on it? If I can ignore it anyone know why it did that? question 2 - on another 500 gig hard drive I want to partition it into 2 parts again with the first part being around 150 gig - is it possible, and if so how do I do it, to make that section bigger if I put nothing on the other section? The reason I want to do it this way is I plan to use that hard drive only for scrapbooking but have found that if I have say a 200 gig hard drive with only 50 gigs on it added at different times, it tends to put them all over the place and defragmenting it doesn't do any good - being o/c I want it all nicely together and not scattered around :-) thanks!
