Well I hope I'm not really hosed, but I don't think so. What I did was use cfdisk to remove the partitions after partimage to backup the hda2 4G Win98 c: drive. I had used cfdisk to create it and it was fine, along with the several other partitions which I've used for tests of Debian, versions of Knoppix since 3.1, etc. I like the "from iso" cheat especially. I'm just a poor guy, distro-whoring my way through antique hardware until someone buys my pickup and I move permanently to the 64-bit world of Debian.

I had had a 128Meg hda1 for use as a boot partition; now I'd like c: and d: 6G each at the nose of the drive, and all else for Knoppix 4, so I can experiment with UFS and compile that AOHell dialer from Linspire, install, and make this all work on the ISP with which I am stuck whilst healing two broken legs. Using AOHell on dialup is MUCH more painful than broken bones, and especially on an old winbox!

I've tried wiping the disk clean again, and using windows fdisk to do the partitioning, and restoring again, but still it only sees 4G. I'd like to try maybe creating one 4G partition, then stretching the partition bigger, but don't know what tools to use, except Partition Magic, which I don't have and can't afford. Any ideas?

Thanks again
