I have several partitions now, and the DOS stuff is in a small
C:\ partion, as is Win3.11 , and NT is on FAT in another small
partition. Warp uses the rest, residing in F:\;G:\H:\ and I:\.
Will the cloning software expand the partitions to fill the new
drive - or leave the unsused space unused for me to format?
