partions
The only way you can delete, create, resize or merge existing =
partitions, and not harm your existing Windows XP installation, is to use a third-party partitioning program such as Partition Magic 8 (www.powerquest.com). Partition Magic Instructional Videos=20 http://www.powerquest.com/support/primus/id2752.cfm However, if you wish to start over from scratch and reinstall Windows XP and all your programs, perform the following: 1. Open your BIOS and set your CD Drive as the first bootable device. 2. Insert your Windows XP CD in the CD Drive and reboot your = computer. 3. You'll see a message to hit to boot to the CD. 4. The setup menu will appear and you should elect to delete the = existing Windows partitions, then create a new partition, then format that partition (preferably NTFS) and proceed to install Windows XP. 5.
