Thanks to Satinder Mangat for solving my problem in record time
and to any one else who takes the time to pitch in with the answer.
See Satinder's solution followed by my original post.
I moved a partition off the disk, shrunk the partition a few meg and
copied the data back. Encapsulation then worked fine. Thanks
again Satinder.
