Adding logical drives and changing size of actual C/ drive

[Erick]

Hi,

On my Dell PC (XP Pro SP1), I've got 2 basic partitions:

a FAT partition of 32Mb (EISA config....I don't know what it is..) and a
186.22 Gb NTFS partition named (C

Is it possible to change that and reduce (C to 45Gb and create 2 or 3
other drives (logical ones in extended partition or something else?) without
too much knowledge?

Thanks for your help

Erick

Since Windows XP cannot natively create, resize, or merge partitions
with XP already installed, the solution is a third-party partitioning
program.

An excellent third-party partitioning program is Partition Magic 8.

OK I see. I thought XP would be able to do this.
Thanks for your help anyway.

Best regards,

XP can do it during a clean install, but NOT after XP is already installed.
