I was told there is a way to divide my computer to have
the games in one part and the programs in another. Is
this true? Can you help me with the steps to do that?

I am also disabled, for the past 3 years, and the recent
acquisition of this computer provides a lot of
entertaining and educational enjoyment.

I do whatever I can to help people in my neighbourhood,
their children and their dogs. (dog sit). Contribute to
baseball groups with clothing or bottle drives, etc.
Whatever I can.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Janice,

You can do this by either of two ways:

1. Have someone reinstall Windows and partition your hard drive;
2. Have someone install a 2nd hard drive in your computer.

I use the 2nd option since it's faster having the games load from one
drive while the operating system is on it's own drive.

If you want to partition your hard drive yourself, be careful. You will not be
able to access resources like this newsgroup if your system is inoperative. If
you are going ahead with this project, use this resource:
http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/cleanxpinstall.html and during step 10 - 11
you will delete your existing partition, and then create 2 or more partitions from it.

Good luck Janice, and remember: If it's not broken, please don't fix it. :-)
