I do not understand "Put all your logical drives in the extended
partition". As stated, logical drives are on master HD, which is 40G.
Could not, even if I wanted, put logical drives of 40G master on 3.2G
slave. Want to leave master partitions as is, C, D, and E, and make slave
drive F. I  presume having only an extended partition on slave will do
that, unless I am miss comprehending something. Thanks.
