| 691524 | 2008-07-23 22:30:00 | After installing Windows XP Home and a few other programs on my new computer (about 5hrs work ) I relised I have not partition my 500gb hard drive. So I have one big 500gb or there abouts partition. I want to partition it, so I'm up to suggestions on what to do. Probibly the easiest thing to do is to start all over again. :) |

| 691525 | 2008-07-23 22:37:00 | Definitely not! Download the Gparted ISO (sourceforge.net), burn it to a cd using ImgBurn (www.imgburn.com) and boot off it. Partition away! :cool: |

| 691530 | 2008-08-01 00:05:00 | trev what did u use and what were the results? i am wanting to do this also. Gparted did the trick. No problems. Took the risk and didn't do a backup. All it meant if it went wrong was a reinstall. :) |

| 691532 | 2008-08-01 20:58:00 | If you have access to a copy of Partition Magic 8 or Paragon Partition Manager 9 you can partition or repartition at any time with no loss of data. I use them often - quick, easy & safe. | fnphoto (2434) | ||
