Silvernail) Newsgroups: comp.os.msdos.misc Subject: Fdisk question Message-ID: Date: 27 Jan 91 02:57:06 GMT Organization: Villa CyberSpace, Minneapolis, MN Lines: 14 Under MS-DOS 3.3, I have a 40 meg hard drive partitioned as 2 logical 20 meg drives. For orginizational reasons, I'm thinking of changing the partitions to 20, 15 and 5 megs. My question is, will I lose the data on the first partition if I delete the current second partition and create 2 in its place? (in other words, will I have to backup and restore my C: drive when all I'm killing is D:?) Thanks in advance. E-mail is fine, and I'll summarize if there's lots of interest. -- Roy M.
