Jay,

I seem to remember raeding something in the readme file that came with
windows 3.0 about it only supporting partitions on your hard disk that were
done with the DOS Fdisk utility. It strongly discouraged from using third 
party partitioning utilities. Something else that comes to mind about 
the installation using so much disk space is that Windows may not be deleting
it's temp files if you are not leaving windows gracefully. You can view these
so called static files with Norton Utilities. They are usually hidden and you 
need some help in finding them. I believe one is in the root directory and one
is in the \windows\temp directory. Just a few thing to consider.
