A simple solution may be to split your 1 GByte partiton into two 500
MByte partitions; I believe DOS likes 512M or less.   Of course that
entails reformatting unless you have (?) Partiton Magic. Either way tha
 will add you a drive letter and perhaps foul up file naming on your
 system.  I am anti-HPFS, mainly because most of what I run is dos/win31
 and my tape backup units are native dos/win31 and work [poorly|not at
 all] in immitation OS2 DOS.  I am not 100% techie, but I believe that
 with HPFS, a cluster is always 512 byte so there is no tradeoff to the
 partition size (at least for cluster size) as there is for dos -- where
 the bigger the partition the bigger the cluster size.
