I have a 2nd hard drive installed It is 160g. Over a yr ago it was set up
into 4 smaller partitions and it really doesn't work well for me. I was
thinking maybe 2-80g might work better. How do I go about doing this? Can
they just be re-sized or do I need to reformat the entire hard drive? In any
case which ever needs to be done I Think I would need some guidance also.
Your help is very much appreciated.
 
If any of the data/files on this drive are important to you first make a
backup, then use a tool like Partition Magic.
If the data is unimportant then use XP's Disk Management tool to do the job.

To go to Disk Management on your Windows PC, (right click on the My Computer
icon, then select the Manage option, then in the Computer Management window
select Disk Management).

Make certain you select the correct drive (use Drive letters and Labels to
verify) and remove all of the existing partitions, create the two new
partitions and format.
