fdisk option...

Hello,

Regarding installation of QRTP. It would be nice to have the chance to
say the size of the partition as you like, not to choose:
1 all
2 half
3 …
4
and so on.

Or is it possible and I don’t know how ? Please somebody give a hint
here?

I’m pretty sure you can use DOS FDISK to do what you want to do. Just boot
up with a Windows boot diskette and make your partition that way.

You sorta can, but DOS’s fdisk is HORRIBLE, it won’t let you manage
anything other than a DOS/Windows partition.

IMHO, there should be a 5th option when installing which is to run the
RTP version of fdisk. I wound up doing this the hard way, installing RTP,
rebooting, running fdisk, arranging the partitions the way I want/need, then
re-installing.

Cheers,
