I've loaded Win 98 onto a disk that had previously been
loaded with NT and was partitioned into 2Gb and about 6Gb.
Now I've only got the 2Gb and can't find the other 6Gb
nevermind unpartition it.
Any ideas how I get the 6Gb back?
Thanks
Alex

If it's an NTFS formatted logical drive on an extended partition then you'll
want to boot the Windows NT (or Windows 2000) CD-Rom or setup disks; when
you get to the point (early in setup) delete the extended partition and
abort the install. Then the unallocated space will be available for use.
