Partitioning Dell Inspiron e1505
by logans06 - 2/1/09 6:50 PMI tried to partion my Dell Inspiron e1505 with Windows XP using EASEUS Partition Manager. When I load EASEUS it shows that I have 5 partitions already! As follows, FAT16, NTFS "C drive" NTFS "D:Backup", FAT32, and an Unallocated section.
The C drive is the only drive that has enough room for me to partition it for windows 7 beta. But when i resize the c drive EASEUS doesn't allow me to create this new unallocated drive. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks
(NT) Why not just delete the old partitions and do it right ?

Here is a handy Guide to help you set up the Windows7 Beta on a VirtualBox: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/installing-windows-7-on-a-virtual-machine/ . If you want to know how to clean up your other partitions let me know I can help out with that as well.

If I cleaned up some of the useless partitions would that increase the available amount of memory? If so I would appreciate any information on how to do so. Thanks.
