Hi Shawn,

Looks like this is the route to go - wish I had've heard of pdisk the
last time I tried to repartition my drive!!  At any rate, I can't seem
to actually make the partition map writeable - single user mode, etc.
and I still get the 'The map is not writeable' whenever I try to edit
the partitions.  Help?

Thanks again
