No no, it's not that simple:) Each extended/logical partition has its own partition table and some spare room at the beginning of its allocated partition space. So when one of your extended/logical partitions gets mislocated it *will* overwrite sectors it shouldn't touch and quite likely destroy some data. -- groetjes, carel
