Creating partitions when installing Windows XP?

[Guest]

Hi!, i bought a new oem 80Gb harddrive and i want to have two partitions in
it and Windows XP installed in one of them, i read some links in the internet
about how to install Windows XP in new harddrives but none of them explains
how to create two partitions in the harddrive and then install or if this is
done after installing Windows XP. Can someone help with a link or suggestion?
im a bit newbie on this, i did reinstalled Wxp before but then the harddrive
was already partitioned, Thank you!

Partition Magic v8 or v9 make it easy to partition your drive.

Early in the installation, you'll be given the opportunity to
create a primary partition on which to install XP. You can make
this partition whatever size you want. Once you've finished the
installation, run Disk Management and create a second
partition. Once created, format the partition.

Where do you see v9? I only see v8 available from Symantec.
