question about new hard drive partition
by sciflyer - 8/21/08 2:31 AMi recently installed a slave drive and formatted it NTFS in windows XP. i labeled it drive X. what i want to do is create 2 or 3 separate partitions and name them X, Y and Z.
how do i do this in XP with it already formatted? i do not want to purchase software if i do not have to.
thanks,
jim

question about that
by sciflyer - 8/21/08 5:56 PM In reply to: Easy by Steven Haningerwhen i originally formatted the drive, when i tried to create a partition, the maximum size disk management would allow was 8 MB.
how do i set the partition to be 6 GB?
