- Partitioning ?
- Posted by Andy on April 29th, 2008
Hello,
I have XP on my C drive and i have another spare 200GB HD attached
internally to the PC, is shows up as drive S.
What i'm wanting to know is:
I have some backup files on the spare S drive (about 150GB worth),
leaving 50GB spare on it.
1) Can i put a partition on spare drive S without losing the 150GB worth
of backup files i already have on there ? (so it will become 160GB
(backup) / 40GB partitioned)
2) There is 150GB worth of backup, so if i partition it to 160GB (backup
stuff) and 40GB spare, can i then put Windows Vista on the partitioned
40GB bit of the HD and choose my operating system on startup ? ie. have
a choice on start up whether to go into XP or Vista ?
3) If i later decide i want more than the 40GB partitioned on the Vista
Partition, can i move all the backup (150GB) stuff to a different HD and
then repartition to say 100GB / 100GB without losing Vista ?
Best Regards,
Andrew

This group is for Windows Media Center issues, repost to a relevant Vista
group.

You are more likely to find help on off-topic problems by going to a
group in which the question is *not* off topic.
You are more likely to get help if you're not snotty.

First, you made no mention of Media Center in your OP. Second, your question
has nothing to do with the Media Center application, which is what this
group discuses. Third, I would suggest losing the attitude when you do post
in the proper forum or you'll get no help at all.
