    Making two partitions.

    Is it possible, withouth installing apps like Partition Magic, to make two partitions out of one, when the one is all ready in use by WinXP? In any way at all?

    No. You can loose alot of data if you just use a standard partition tool like fdisk. Need something like PM to maintain file integrity.

    Re: Making two partitions.

    Grrrrr...I can't belive this. They send me down to CERN, telling me to work on 3 different OSes, and then they give me a BRAND new PC install Win XP on it, and leave it with only ONE HDD, and only ONE partition. I can't belive it...

    Re: Making two partitions.

    I don't think a 1Gb pen drive will fit 2 OSes and all my development tools, and 2 test servers. But I was actualy thinking about an external drive. But why not by a new HDD. Even if I can't belive I have to get this. I need to send some e-mails here...

    Re: Making two partitions.

    well, if you really want to be dangerious, you could put a upgrade disk in then do a quick format, repartition the drive, then try a data recovery program to get all the data back. but like i said you have a real high chace of loosing ALL of your data

    Re: Making two partitions.

    The big issue is Microsoft makes developers pay for NTFS support which is why I believe there are no free alternative to PM.
