How Do You Partition A Hard Drive With Windows XP?
Partitioning a hard drive is a fairly simple operation with the utility tool already installed on Windows XP. However, if you have difficulty finding the desktop on your computer, you’ll want to leave this job to someone with a little more experience. Go to your Control Panel and click on Administrative Tools From there, go to Computer Management Click on Storage, then Disk Management (local) Now that Disk Management is open you will see a list of all the volumes, or hard drives that are attached to your computer. For ease of explanation, I will assume that we are partitioning an empty external hard drive. (I also strongly recommend partitioning only empty drives because you run the risk of splitting your data between partitions otherwise and that’s not a good thing.) From the list of volumes, click on the empty hard drive that you wish to partition. Below the list of volumes, your selected disk will be highlighted. Right click on the unallocated space of the drive. Select Make New Par
