Answer» i am having single hard drive 200gb which has vista. i would like to install windows xp also. i WANTED to know whether i can PARTITION this single drive to two drives(100gb each) without removing vista..You're asking for trouble, putting two OS's on a single HD. It's much better to just use two HD's. I'm doing that now on three systems of my own.
But yes, you CAN REPARTITION a Vista drive without damaging Vista.
I just did it a few days ago on a Vista drive of my own. I used "Partition Magic 8". It worked like a charm. I CREATED a "Storage" partition for misc. data and Ghost backup files.
First you have to reduce the size of the Vista partition, which leaves "Free Space". Then you have to "Create" a new drive in the 'Free Space'.
Everything must be done in precise order or you can wind up with a NON-Booting HD.
Proceed with Caution!
