I currently have two partitions, one for the XP OS and another for back up just in case the system files get corrupted. I was planning on my annual formatting but this time I want to try something new.
I want to make three different partitions:
1) Primary OS(XP) for regular use
2) Secondary OS(XP) for executing possible virus and spyware infested programs such as Kazaa.
3) Back up for pics and music.
Basically, I was just wondering if I installed something with spyware such as programs like kazaa onto the secondary partition, would those virus or spyware leak into my primary OS? I'm just sick of using my computer and it being slow because of all these parasites latching onto my system files. I just wanna have a whole new platform to try these dirty programs and another to use as my own. Thanks
