Hi,
I currently have windows 98 installed on one logical drive, is it possible to create a second logical drive using fdisk within win98, or any other way of creating a second logical drive without having to reinstall the win98 i currently have on my computer.

If your logical drive is not using all the space of the extended partition then you can. But if your logical drive is already using all the space, fdisk can't create another drive.
Something like partition magic may be able to do it but I've never tried.

Hi sanjay11, DAVEINCAPS, george, hi everyone,
Yes, but Partition Magic is a commercial product!

Ranish Partition Manager is a freeware alternative to Partition Magic. I haven't personally used it, but I've seen it recommended many times.
