Default Hard Drive Partition Question
I am gonna format my drive, but I have a question....
I fired up Partition Magic tonight, with the intent of enlarging my C: partition before my format. For some reason, i thought it would be 'cool' to have multiple partitions lol. Now when i go to make my C: partition bigger, PM tells me this: This Partition Crosses the 1024 cylinder boundry and may not be bootable.....
should i go ahead and resize it and do my format, or can i choose mutiple partitions during the windows install to format. I want to just keep one partition for files and nuke the rest. Any advice would be great

:computer_

Hya BigR , as far as i know aslong youre pc (bios) isn't really old and you use a newer O.S (like 98 , XP ect) then you can just ignore that message.

But just incase wait and see if someone else has something to say about that.
