Back about 15 or so messages, someone said that their hard disk had
a 20 meg "free space" partition.  They were wondering how to use it.
Well, you can't have two apple partitions (on an apple disk, at least,
using HDSetup [I THINK!]), but you can delete the old partition and make
a new single, larger partition.  NOTE: This destroys all the files in
the partition that you are deleting, so be sure to have a backup!
I have an apple 40SC hard disk in my Mac II, and noticed that there is
actually about 41 meg on the disk, the extra 1 meg being "free space",
so now I have a 41 meg drive...big deal, but every megabyte helps...
NOTE: I don't think you want to delete the partition marked as the
driver, or some such thing...


Now my question -- is there any harm in allocating ALL of the disk space
for the apple HD partition, or does it not matter.
