Having recently had to re-install XP from my OEM disk (reformatting c: drive) and not having used any partitions in the past I lost all my installed programs etc (but did have important doc/pics backed up ). It was more annoying than anything else having to re-insatll all my programs.
Now I wish to create a 2 partitions as recommended 1 for all the OS etc and the other for programs etc.
When I get to the disk management application inXP I can see that I have only 1 60GB partition with no 'unallocated space' avaliable and I am unable to create a new one!!
How should I proceed, I have read of some bad things happening in attemping this. What are the pitfalls and
Please bear in mind I am a Hardware orientated person and I am trying to learn so go easy.
Thanks
