Very Computer

I have successfully deleted the linux partitions on my drive and fixed the
boot problem but ----  How can I recover the 250 meg that was Linux back
into my 600 meg C: drive under DOS ????  
                                                              Thanks,   Tom

That can be a bit more difficult.  I presume that you used FIPS to
shrink your existing DOS partition and have now discovered that it is a
one-way process.  I can think of 4 solutions:

 1. There is a commercial tool, Partition Magic, that I believe will do
    the job.  Unfortunately, it costs around $60.

 2. A person with a lot of expertise and a copy of Norton DISKEDIT could
    re-expand the partition and file system.  I am very reluctant to try
    to send instructions on the intricacies of that little procedure, as
    a mistake could wipe out your data.

 3. If you don't already have an Extended partition on the drive, you
    could turn the space into an Extended partition and build a logical
    drive on it to use the space.

 4. There's always the old standby: backup-repartition-format-restore.
