Windows XP More than 4 partitions on a HDD...

[Kortex]

Hi,

Using WinXP I wondered how I can partition a HDD more than 4 times. It seems that it's impossible.

partition magic, or fdisk if your skint, as far as i know both of these support >4 partitions (note: fdisk doesn't support NTFS)

On a master boot record (MBR) disk, you can create up to four primary partitions, or three primary partitions and one extended partition.
On a GUID partition table (GPT) disk, you can create up to 128 primary partitions.

hello Kortex

go to

start
control panel
performance and maintenance
administrative tools
computer management
disk management

here you can create up to four primary partitions, or three primary partitions and one extended partition.

The extended partition can be split up into smaller logical drives.

see the help file in disk management

hope this helps
