Don't partition drive in use! If you want to repartition a drive that's 
currently in use and it's not a system disk then unmount the partitions, 
and do the usual thing. I do that all the time for removable cartridges in 
1.5GB SyQuest drive. Never reboot, it would be annoying if that were a 
requirement and I would go away from such a poor OS that requires it right 
away.
