Hi

Maybe you can find some infos [[url=http://[/URL]="B">http://support.micr…"]Here[/]="B">http://support.micr…"]Here[/] , thats' where I got some valuable infos on how to set up a dual boot system (and relative partitions); from there try doing a search for the word "partition" if you need more or other.

Hope this helps

Fabrice,

> can someone point me to a place where i can find out more about disc partitions?

I described the basics as they apply to music computers in Part 1 of my recent series for Keyboard magazine. It's now on my web site:

> differences between primary, extended partitions and logical drives.

There can be up to four primary partitions on a hard drive. But if you make one of those an extended partition, you can then create as many logical partitions underneath as you want.

> i've also got another HD (120GB) in a external USB2.0 enclosure; ... how come i can't format it as FAT32?

I think 120 GB exceeds the maximum for a FAT32 partition.
