Hard drive partitioning

Post by tony1949 »

Hi Can anybody help me? I have a hard drive with one partition with Windows 2000, works fine. I would like to also have Windows 98 but is this possible? Can I partition the disk from where I am now or do I have to erase everything and start again? Tony.

If you have a program called "Partition Magic" then you can change the size of your partitions and create a ntfs partition for windows 2000 and a fat32 partition for windows 98.

if you don't have "partition magic" or a similiar program, then you will have to unpartition your disk, and create two seperate partitions, one being a fat32 and the other being a ntfs
