First of all thank you to the kind soul who posted for me... our site does
not let us....

I have a IIsi and system 7.0.  I have an Apple 40 meg drive, *grin* my 2nd in
4 months, and had expnaded into the unused partition with HD Setup. So
under 6.0.7 I had ~40.3 megs of space on my drive.

After installing 7.0, i noticed the sum of used and available space
(fom the Finder windows) was only 39.3 meg.  I booted with 6.0.7,
40.3, rebooted with 7.0, 39.3.

Whats going on?  HD Setup shows the larger partition no matter which system
I boot from.... is Apple being pissy and not letting us continue to use that
extra space, or do I have to get a 3rd party config file?

*I do not recommend any try to expand their drive this way...*grin* disclaimer

Please e-mail replies to zimmy@eceugs.ece.ncsu.edu

I will try to summarize and send the summary to one of the
contributors to post.

Thanks in adavnce
