  Thanks but I've got an ancient version of Partition Magic 7.  It does
have the markers for the 8gb limit also.  So it appears the correct
understanding would be that the NT Partition itself (along with any
partitions below the NT partition) need to reside within the first 8gb.
That's not a requirement for XP what about Win2K?  Is Win2K 8gb sensitive?

Thanks,

Gary
