Answer» I'd like to partition my hard drive so I have music, videos, etc on one partition and programs and the operating system on the other. To my KNOWLEDGE what I have to do Is: SET it too boot the Cd Rom first, Boot with the xp cd, and once the cd has loaded click on my drive and hit C? I'd like to partition my hard drive so I ...........Why?Does it really matter why I want another partition?It doesn't matter to me at all, I was only trying to help you, good luck. You will lose eveything with XP, look for Partition Magic or FIPS.Quote You will lose eveything with XPTrue. Bit of advice from me (if you want it) - be careful if you decide to use Partition Magic, and make sure you make a recovery disk (I think that's what it's called) first. A few years ago, I was messing around with partitions on the old desktop, and I really messed it up with Partition Magic. I'd forgotten to make a boot disk in my haste, and it wouldn't boot. I've forgotten what I actually did, it was a long time ago, but after the event I was running around to everyone I knew trying to make boot disks, which then didn't work on my machine. Eventually, my dad's friend magicked the PC back to life after a few days. I'm sure this was just due to my own stupidity, haste and naiveté, but just a note of warning. I can see where you're coming from wanting separate partitions for media and the OS. Can I also suggest a separate partition for your programs? Then you'll have a partition just for your OS, so you can reinstall without affecting ANYTHING else, plus I've heard that can improve performance (not sure if that was just a rumor or REAL, though). Good luck. Edit: MikeZ/Mikewithaprob left all of a sudden? Or is it just me?Mike Z has indeed gone missing. Quote Does it really matter why I want another partition? Does your H Disk has only one partition? Hard to believe, in fact PC manufactures give 2 partitions at least. In any case, you can always create different folders, instead of partitions, and store different files there. Quote Mike Z has indeed gone missing. [size=14]What does it mean by Ex-member[/size]? It means he has retired and the question is no longer needing a reply. |
