Hey,
I want to create a partiion on my 80Gb hard drive for virtual memory. I currently have C: and D:. D: is a recovery partition. Can anyone tell me how to create a partition? Preferably not by using command lines, but if it's the only way, go ahead. Thanks in advance!

U can do it with the program partition magic, but you'll have to pay for that.

I use this DOS version of Norton Ghost. I dunno where I got it though... You need to buy Norton Ghost... I like norton products... I don't think there's a free one and I don't recommend you use free ones incase it might stuff up your computer.

partition magic is an amazing program and not too hard to obtain... not that I endorse pirating software...but...if one were to try to obtain a copy illegally...they probably could quite easily...

If you have the windows XP Corp. CD, you can do it. Boot from disk when it starts, and go to Partition when it loads. I did it yesterday, as a matter of fact.

Erm, right, well thanks, but I think I'll just muddle on with my 512 mb ddr just now, partitioning sounds nasty!

All you do is get whichever program and basically say "make new partition ____mb" or something of that nature

hi,
the quickest and eaisest way i've found is to use Partion Magic. The program is real simple to use and is even capable to keeping any data intact. You will need to buy it but i think its worth it |

Partitioning... to do that you need to use an old DOS-type program called FDISK. Just run it and follow the directions. You'll need to back stuff up first as partioning can destroy the data you already have.
