re: partitioning with xp Sunday, March 11, 2007 at 1:39 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Rich Kurtz (12246 messages posted) Have you backed up your data before you started doing this? If not, your exposing yourself to complete loss of all data. If it's a new system then this may not matter. Using Partiton Magic, you first have to shrink the existing partition size. Then you create a new partition in the now available, unused space. Once you have all the steps selected you start it and it does each one in turn. Cross fingers, eyes, legs and hold you breath, a small prayer would not be out of the question either :-) and hope that it completes successfully. Dont' touch the computer till it finishes.
