Setting the Partition Size

When we shipped your disk, we allotted the maximum
allowable space to the first partition with a ProDOS system
installed. ProDOS allows a maximum of 32 Megabytes per
drive. Any available disk space above the maximum is shifted
to the next partition(s).

If you decide to resize the partitions remember this important
guideline:

BACK UP!

When you enlarge a partition, you're taking space away from
another partition. The space you take away may be the portion
that contains important files or applications. Backup copies of
the partitions let you correct any slips you might make.

The partition you have selected will give space to or take space
from the next partition(s) down.

Sizing Rules

When sizing, keep in mind the following rules:

1)

You must have the operating system of both the
partition you are resizing as well as the partition next in
line set to CLEAR.

2)

Any sequential files that are also set to CLEAR may also
be modified.

3)

ProDOS allows a maximum partition size of 32 Meg.
