    Instructions for logical partition on Dell SAS 6/iR XPx64

    I tried the demo version of Acronis Disk Director, which runs XPx64. It looked like it might work, but nothing happened. The demo version only does a 1-cylinder minimal sized partition, but would have proven the process or get the partition started.
