What Program To Use for Partitioning?

[Rip the Jacker]

Hey.

I want to partition my OS (XP SP2 Integrated). I decided I'll give the OS/Programs around 60 GB of space and 100 GB to everything else. What Program should I use for Parititioning? Is there a particular one I could use as a CD-ROM Boot Disc? I don't have a floppy btw.

no you just need to enable print sharing, then it should work

I would say it depends on what you plan to install. If you plan to install large games such as UT 2004 or Doom3 you might want to make that partition a little bigger. If you don't plan to install anything massive like that 5gb sounds perfect.

If XP is already installed, and not reformatting, then you'll need a program such as PartitionMagic.
If your planning on re-installing XP fresh, then you could use XP or even the software utility the hard drive came with....or download from manufacturer's website.

I'll probably do a format and fresh install.
