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
