3000-PARTITIONING ZIP ON WINXP

Yo, I can format Zip disks with MPC Editor and make them work on the MPC3000 and WinXP but it makes the disks only with one partition, how can I format them and partition them in 4 and still use them on the MPC and WinXP ? And how can I select in WinXP the partition where I want to save the files ?

I can't even load more than 489 files to a zip disk (100megs) (formatted into 1 partition with MPC Editor) when the files' total size on disk is only 15.7 megs...
Anybody?

I don't think it is possible for xp to read multipartition discs.

You can't.
You sacrifice one ZIP disk as a transporter disk, it will be the one that has only one partition.
Use that to get to and from the computer.
Load the fies into the MPC then save to a ZIP disk that has 4 partitions.

The MPDEDITOR creates 1 "one" cross platform safe partition for file transfer purposes that can be used on an MPC60/MPC300/WINBOX/MACBOX.

WinXP, WIN2K, WIN2000 don't support multiple partitions on removable media devices like ZIP drives.
