If, say, I wanted to create a new partition in the "free" region, I assume I would need a sizeable piece of contiguous free space. But even in normal operation it's surely better to have the free space in as large pieces as possible, so new files inserted into that space don't become fragmented. Or am I wrong? Argus If you want create a partition in the "free space", you need to have unpartitioned spcae available not unused space. Partition Magic will allow you to shrink a partition so as to create unused or unassigned space for another partition.	Spout (6433)
