I can get to the line that displays the amount of space to make the 
partition, but when I try to use the right arrow button to move the 
cursor to the right so I can change the size, the right arrow button does 
not move the cursor one space to the right.  It moves it off of the line 
for size to somewhere else, thus preventing the ability to change 
anything.  Let me know if this is clear, if not I will provide greater 
detail.

Thanks,

Andy
