how can i create a second partition without having to pay for a program like
Symantec Partition Magic 8 . i want to install vista but i dont want to
loose my xp pro and my data. what can i do. i have a laptop with a single
hard drive . i've been looking all over the place i dont know what to do. i
already have the vista beta 2 dvd ready i just dont want to upgrade intil i
figure out what to do, without compromising xp. please i need advise on what
to do.
 
Check your previous posts, several of us have already posted that you can get
free software off the net that will let you partition your current drive
without ruining your current XP installation. WHile you are at it, if you
have alot of data files to save and your hard drive is large enough you might
want to create another partition and move all the data there. In a worst case
scenario, if you botch the Vista or XP partitions your data will survive.
 
thank you but it would really help me if you put me in the right direction. i
dont know where to find the program to use.
i've been lookin for the past 3 hours i just dont know what program really
works . so if anyone can again put me in the right direction and maybe break
it down more barney style for me , it would really help me.
