Being very careful, take your install diskette and boot
to that. Select to UPGRADE your installation... you
will be prompted when the time comes which packages
you wish to install, just select none at that time.
This will allow you to use Disk Druid. Be careful
not to blitz your existing partitions!

Subject: fdisk does not save partitions
Hi
Thanks to those who told me how to add a drive to an existing system.
We seem to have a problem with fdisk of /dev/sdb ( the new drive)
Fdisk defaults to only 20 MB and will not save anything we do to the drive.
It is a Seagate st34573w 4+gig SCSI.
Fdisk gets errors about unknown partition table type when we write and exit.
I can not find disk druid on the system to try to use it. We normally use it
when building a new system and I thought it might work.
Any help would be much appreciated since I need this extra space real bad.
