G Guest Feb 12, 2004 #1 I want to format my disk to be able to create a new partition. Can anybody tell me how to do this?
C Carey Frisch [MVP] Feb 12, 2004 #2 Windows XP cannot create a new partition without first deleting all existing partitions. You can use a thirty-party partitioning program, such as Partition Magic 8, or you can perform a "clean install" of Windows XP. A good third-party partitioning program is Partition Magic 8. http://www.powerquest.com/partitionmagic/pmdetails.cfm PartitionMagic 8.0 "Instructional Videos" http://www.powerquest.com/support/primus/id3918.cfm Clean Install Windows XP http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/cleanxpinstall.html -- Carey Frisch Microsoft MVP Windows XP - Shell/User Be Smart!
