Hard drive partitioning

[Steve F.]

I need to re-partition my 80 gig HD. Original partition
for operating system and programs is too small. Currently
partitioned into 2 drives. How do I change the current
partitions? Thanks.

Your best bet is to get a 3rd party app like Partition Magic and simply
resize the partition which contains the OS.

a 10gig partion is plenty large enough for XP, with an 80 gig HD breaking it
up into 3-4 partitions would not be a bad idea.
If you are not concerned about losing anything on your HD and can do a clean
install, then use your CD to repartition and format the HD into the logical
drives that you want.
