Set up unix partition..
I am trying to set up an partition to an existing unix partition. I need to add a partition with XP. Is there a way I can do this without having to start all over? The software I have on my unix box is a very long and tiresome process. Maybe ghost that image somehow?

long name fully identifying the disk.
The following list indicates the normal values stored for each disk entry.
