Hi there
Working now
Thanks everybody
The 32 vs 64 bit is actually irrelevelant in this case since we are talking about BOOTING the OS and not running under windows -- seems the problem is that some distributions of Partition Wizard download the .EXE file while others give you the .ZIP file which has all the extra bits and pieces.
Actually I'm thinking of going back to GPARTED as it does everything also and is totally FREE - the disadvantage is that it ONLY runs as a stand alone system and not under windows or another OS - but when mucking about with partitions that might not be a bad idea either.
(The bootable version of Partition wizard is a LINUX boot - nothing wrong with that - not a PE system which is why it's small -- a Linux kernel can be TINY - for example just look at the various releases of Android --essentially a Linux system). GPARTED is also small - based on DEBIAN I think.
Cheers
