makita ra na nmu bro ad2 i taod sa sata secondary nmu sa board makita rna nmu ang unpartition drive. i delete sa 2 ang partition para maka create nka og new partition. note: back-up your files before nmu i delete ang partition if naa ka files sa hard disk.

Use partition magic for sure partition. If windows XP setup imo way gamiton naa mahibilin nga unallocated space w/c is a waste. I prefer partition magic coz it will probably provide a full clean partition.

partition magic kay power kaayo.

if naa ka xp cd pwde na nmo magamit pra mag partition during sa pag boot, itaud lng daan ang xp cd. pro imo sa i 1st priority daan ang cd-rom sa bios setup.

if naka win xp nka, adto sa control panel>administrative tools>computer management dn click ang disk management dn pangitaa imong hdd. pwde lng nmo ma partition if naa unpartitioned space. if wala nid nmo i format pra ma partition imong hdd or use 3rd party partition software (pro la pa ko ka try ani).

first and foremost : BACK-UP the data

solution without partition magic - HERE.

it its a slave to a running win xp hdd | or it is connected thru a usb enclosure

> right click my computer > manage > computer management menu will appear > storage > disk management
> u will see all the BIOS DETECTED HDD in ur pc > right click the slave drive or the usb drive
> delete partition ( if it is a whole volume hdd )
or delete partition ( specific partition : ex.. if e:\ 40gb is a running partition with operating system of the slave hdd | usb hdd of 160gb capacity ..then f:\ is about 120gb, that u wanted to divide into 2 or more. )

> right click ( again ) create partition or partition > format ( quick or standard )

if it is a lone hdd or the running hdd in ur pc ( that u wanted to repartition from the scratch )

> restart > insert win xp > press any key to boot from cd > setup xp: enter > EULA : f8 to agree > detecting previous windows xp installation : ESC

> select the drive u wanted win xp will be setup > PRESS D : delete partition > enter > to continue press L > assuming all partition had been deleted > PRESS C to create partiton >

assuming that all partition had been created > U HAVE to in stall xp ( of course! to utilize ur pc )

* anyways, all partition created can be seen in the explorer of the running win xp, you just have to format it the partition before u can use it.

if it is a lone hdd or the running hdd in ur pc ( that u wanted to repartition live with in win XP )

> right click my computer > manage > computer management menu will appear > storage > disk management

> delete partition ( specific partition : ex.. drive d:\ is about 120gb, that u wanted to divide into 2 or more. )

> right click ( again ) create partition or partition > format ( quick or standard )



enjoy!
