Hi all:

I've just received a new Dell Optiplex GX240 1.7 Gig running Win2K. I'd like to partition the drive but after turning it on and opening Disk Management I can't right-click on the disk to select Create Partition. Nor can I right-click free space in an extended partition and select Create Logical Drive. Am I doing something wrong, or am I missing a step, or is it that even though the single C: drive is the only one there and contains the system, I can't do it at all? And yes, I am a mac user. *shrug*

On the mac end, is there a way to transfer and use my existing Eudora files from my mac to the pc? Or do I have to send every single message I think important, to myself and download it on the pc?

Ah, the joys of switching operating systems...

Thanks in advance.
