Grambler Posted December 31, 2005 CID Share Posted December 31, 2005 Partition Magic would be my choice, it will allow you to keep your current configuration in place while partitioning the drive. With FDisk you have to erase everything and start over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHalf Posted December 31, 2005 CID Share Posted December 31, 2005 Definitely use Partition Magic 8.0 by PowerQuest. TheHalf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
organ_shifter Posted December 31, 2005 CID Share Posted December 31, 2005 Partition Magic is nice, although it's through Symantec now.

laroc Posted December 31, 2005 Author CID Share Posted December 31, 2005 i've choosen to use partition magic to sort out the partitions. Im just ready to install windows 98SE and after a reboot and selecting windows 98SE on the boot magic boot screen the installation CD for the oerating system load automatically. During the setup process of seting up windows 98SE the installation directory is prompted to use C:. This is where i had previously install windows Xp. what should I do ?? What i dont what to do is mess anything else up as I cant make emergency disk as i don't have a floppy disk rive. I built the machine on the cheap. Is it possible to make a CD ROM as a bootevice as i have a CDR. before i go can someone look at the file attachment of what partition magic has done to the file structure of my hard drive.
