Hi,
Thanks to Franc Zabkar for the information and the link he provided:

I downloaded "Disk Manager" V5.22 for Dos. This is a self-extracting file. Then I copied all the files onto a floppy, less "DMD522.EXE" of course. DM gave me the option (one of two) to create two partitions, one for 520M (apx) and the remainder in the second partition. All went very well. DM is very user friendly. Now I have two logical drives, "C:" and "D:" and no wasted space.
Also, thanks to everyone else for your suggestions.
Brad
