Hi all,

 

Anyone use diskpart to create another partition?

 

 

Thank you.

Not much information about what you're really trying to do. If you want to

partition your hard drive during initial installation, then it's fine to do

so. If you want to partition your hard drive from within a working

installation of XP without losing any data, you need to use third-party

partitioning software. I like Acronis Disk Director.

Yes. However, there has to be free space to create said partition. You

can't resize an existing system partition with diskpart.
