Well, that presents somewhat of a problem.  My partitions are:

* C: [Hidden, 'cause I almost never really use it.}
	Windoze 2K

* Logical:
	Contains five OS/2 drives:  C, D, E, F, G
	plus some free space [approx 4GB] for future, unknown
	and so far unplanned use.

* BootManager:
	BM for OS/2

* Unnamed and almost unidentifiable, but still there:
	IBM's !@#$!@$ recovery partition with a destructive
	recovery of the original Win2K that came on the system.
	I've been told several times by IBM that, if I ever use
	this function, it will put the HD back EXACTLY as it was
	when the system arrived:  ONE large 48GB C-Drive partition.

Unless I delete the IBM recovery partition, I cannot add another
partition due to the limit of 4 physical partitions.  I did not have
this problem on the other TPads, because IBM always provided a CD-ROM
for recovery.  I was told that they are "...required by their license
with Micro$oft..." to do it this way.

Thanks,
Carl
