Guest Jack Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 Hi, I am running DOSBox, it runs fine on my NTFS partition but it causes windows xp to check harddisks everytime the computer boots again after I run windows 3.1 So I decide to partition a small FAT area for my windows 3.1 Without resorting to 3rd party tool like system commander, is it possible to create a small FAT drive when all of my other drives are already partitioned.. Thanks for any hints Jack

No. Unfortunately, no version of Windows before Vista provides any way of changing the existing partition structure of the drive nondestructively. -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP Windows - Shell/User Please Reply to the Newsgroup
