Solve : Advice wanted on partitioning a hard drive?

Answer» <html><body><p>Salutations,<br/><br/>Again, a big THANKS to everyone who helped me out.<br/><br/>I now have my hard drive <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/partitioned-7261011" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about PARTITIONED">PARTITIONED</a> as I had hoped and am back online blasting along at  24 Kbps on my dialup connection.  <br/><br/>I did read Eldergeek and indeed have turned to him on several occasions in time past.  Special thanks to JJ300 for a nice simple runthrough.  Worked without a hitch.<br/><br/>Last question regarding my reload of XP:  Should I order the SP2 CD and attempt to load SP2? I have heard conflicting advice on this issue.  Some folks say it can cause a host of headaches and problems.  Any advice greatly appreciated.<br/><br/>Gracias,<br/>sampI <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/highly-2102664" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about HIGHLY">HIGHLY</a> recommend you get SP2 and <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/install-2121155" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about INSTALL">INSTALL</a> it.  Since you've just performed a fresh installation of Windows XP, now is the best time to install SP2.  Some of the <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/people-238015" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about PEOPLE">PEOPLE</a> who complained of problems - a very small percentage of the total population of SP2 installations, by the way - probably had some malware or other unknown problems in their systems before installing SP2 and that may have caused the problems they encountered after installing SP2.  In other words, installing SP2 on a clean system is the ideal situation.SP2 is highly recommended...it was touted as a security fix when in reality it was a major upgrade to the OS...Heh... XP has moved onto SP3'<br/><br/>Not sure what all it does. But I know if Explorer.exe crashes it restarts it automaticaly. I dont think that happens pre SP3.<br/> Quote from: fat_basterd21 on July 12, 2009, 09:29:13 PM</p><blockquote>Heh... XP has moved onto SP3'<br/><br/>Not sure what all it does.
