Partitioning Software



okay, I want to try partitioning my hard drive instead, so I can choose to run either XP or Vista. When I google how, I get results indicating that you must use some type of partitioning software.

Which ones are recommended by you smart ppl?

Re: Partitioning Software

thanks Bandi but I looked there already and not a lot of help

I have found many partition softwares to choose from but most dont run on Vista Everyone recommends Partition Magic but it is for XP machines only.

Right now, I am using the built-in Vista partition software to shrink my C drive (taking forever) and then hopefully, I can find a free partition software to set up one next drive to then install XP.

Re: Partitioning Software



yup, that is the site I found already. That's how I knew that Vista has its own paritition software built-in. It doesnt allow me to do all that I want but it at least gets me started in the right direction

Re: Partitioning Software

oh cha, don't worry, it's easy. you won't harm your machine.... all yuh data is safely backed up and reloading apps and drivers ain't nothin.....

this machine i'm on now (the charitable donation u see)- came to me all jacked up, with a half-loaded OS (i fear it suffered downloadus interruptus) <span style="font-style: italic"><span style="font-weight: bold">and </span></span> the BSOD.

i just loaded a bran new OS, found &amp; downloaded drivers off the WWW, and looked up the BSOD error message to find instructions on how to bring it back to life.....now it works great!

Re: Partitioning Software



hey ma'am

because I am a stubborn likkle thing

I refuse, yes REFUSE, to re-install all those dang programs. I just flipped thru my disc organizer and got an instant headache....the shot of rum didnt help.

So, I'd rather partition the drive to include XP, and then I just use XP all the time and I dont have to worry about program/data issues. Clever no?
