Subject:	SCOUG-Help: fwd: T43 DFSee mystery

Content Type: text/plain

Can I get a bit of help from you OS/2 experts pls?

Now I have just bought a new T43 with 60 gb drive
and want to create D E F G fat partitions for data
and H I J for OS/2. DFSee 6 and Partition Magic
5.01 both tell me there is a 53.9 gb fully-filled
NTFS partition, so no option to shrink, as well as
about 4 gb for unformatted free space. I believe
neither. (They don't add to 60 gb and there is
supposed to be a hidden partition somewhere too.
Where is that?)

From within the NTFS partition after WXPPro is
loaded, DIR tells me there is 47.7 gb free, which
contradicts the DFSee and PMagic reports that the
53.9 gb is fully used.

What is going on? This differs from every other
machine I have repartitioned. Why can't I use
DFSee? What should I do to repartition as noted
above?

Thanks for all help.

Jeff
