Hello all
I have XP home runnng on my C drive and would like to install Vista Home Premium as well.
Is it possible to partition C drive now or can this only be done with a blank Drive? If this is possible can someone Point me in the right Direction please.
Many thanks Pete

Well pete, it can be done but not always successful. There are tools to resize a partition but when you do that with data on it theres always a chance of losing what is on it. Partition magic is my software of choice but theres several others out there. The safest way is to start from scratch but its a choice you have to make. Do some research on "resizing an active partition" and make a decision from there.

Thanx Liljim Used Partition Magic and this was one of the easiest operations that I have ever done on the PC... took 10 mins to partition and rename ready for Vista.
Only wish everything was this easy.................All the Best Pete

Its like any other profession in life pete, having the right tools for the right job. Glad you got it where you want it.
