- Richard,

- I think you misunderstood. If I understand correctly, Rich wants to
- delete the 80 MB volume and add that NetWare partition as the second
- segment of the 220MB volume while the 220MB volume is mounted. The
- 80MB volume and its contents are lost as you describe (although Rich
- has copied them off to another server), but the 220MB volume will
- simply increase in size by 80MB while it is mounted and in use.
