Hello, I have used Rodime Drivers before to give me disk partitions which is
even recognisable when booting from any floppy with System without having to
contain a particular INIT to find them. Now that I am using a Quantum, are
there any disk partitioning software that does this? I don't like the SUM II
option where you require a separate INIT to find these partitions. I don't
want dressed up folders pretending to be partitions. I want something that
provides the partition as a separate entity to the core, e.g. if I partition
an 80meg HD to two 40meg partitions, then the sum of disk space used and disk
space left should only be 40megs on either one but not 80meg in one of them.
I also would like to be able to get Startup Device to recognise I have two
HDs in this example and can choose which one to boot from.

I'm looking for people who have used the Rodimes before so they know what I
mean and hopefully they may also provide good recommendations. I currently 
have a 200meg drive. Please mail me. Those interested in the remedies if any
should also mail me and I will pass on any relevant advice.

Thanks in advance.

P.S. Silverlining was proposed. I've noticed a DA and INIT so I don't know if
it does it along the lines of SUM II's partitioning software.
