    I want to stick with the factory software however, I do want more than just 1 single partition. Is there a way for me to create a 2nd partition then run the factory recovery software?

    I tried creating two partition, then use the recovery, but that just made back into one partition.

    Anys uggestions would be helpful

    Run the recovery, then repartition using PartitionMagic.

    Yeah, as above poster said.

    I partitioned my 60gb disk in the R52 with partition magic. I placed the extended partition behind (to the left) of the recovery partition (which is what pmagic recommends in this case).

    Works fine for me
