i am no expert and probably wrong <br>
but maybe you should try to checks if your primary partition limit (4) has been reached.<br>
if do try changing one of the primary partions to logical ones.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 7/16/05, <b class="gmail_sendername">Myron Slover</b> <<a href="mailto:tewlmanster@gmail.com">tewlmanster@gmail.com
