Hey guys,

I’m trying to do my first partition in Windows. What’s the easiest way that you guys know of to create new partitions on XP Pro? And is it possible to portion the drive windows is installed on, or is that just a bad idea all together?

I’m wanting to organize my stuff a bit better, but don’t want to ruin my machine. (My only means of income right now.)

Thanks in advance! 🙂

(By the way, I’ve already done my searching for this, and can’t find anything solid.)
