Shouldnt that be : ADFS 0 - 203
                   BSD  204 - 3120 (not 3121)

Oh! Oh! I think even I can manage this one, cos I did it at least once! Try reducing it by one cylinder, as above, and if it still doesnt work, reduce by another sylinder cos of the maths invloved and all . . . I managed to make the partition size one cylinder more than available and got the error back

 Hope it works :-)
