I know this is off subject. Currently Tek-Tips does not have a 'System Configuration' forum, or if it does I am just blind.

I am curious to see if there is a way of bypassing the "partition table" maximum requirements.

Here is the scenario:

I have a laptop currently running

PARTITION (1) - Windows 2000 Professional
PARTITION (2) - WinEXT w/ logical drives
PARTITION (3) - RedHat Linux
PARTITION (4) - FreeBSD 4.7

The scenario I am in is that I have remaining unused space on the drive and would like to add 'Solaris 9' to the mix.

The problem I am facing is that the partition table won't allow anymore 'Primary' partitons to be added.

Is there any way around this?
Is this even possible?


Thanks in advance..

Marc
