'm learning as I'm doing so if an extended without any logical devisions is legit thats ok by me until I need another partitioned space for whatever... then I'll subdivide the extended into logical partitions. is that your train of thought?

We might be talking semantics here..I think I agree. You will have an extended partition with one logical drive inside it. You create the extended partition first. It will look like a frame in PM. Then inside the frame you create the logical drive.

The question is where do you want the extra free space? Inside the logical partition or outside? You can resize later. Try a 4 gig extended with a 2 gig logical to see what it looks like. You can adjust from there.

I wasn't going to resize from the 1 gig. I just wanted to see what size PM was going to decide the partition was... 1gig or 8 gig. It chose 2 gig so I wanted to get smaller and picked 500mb over 1gig at the last minute. But if you feel 1 gig has better breathing room and still not to much to lose off ide 1.. I'll switch to 1 gig.


Go for the gig.
