formatting/partitioning

[Guest]

Hi group,

I have had huge problems with worms lately.(Before I put the antivirus program on naturally ) Now my XP Pro is not working properly and always hanging. I want to format the harddrive and then partition it. I want one partition for the OS and the other for the Data. How do I go about doing it? I have access to partitioning software. Will that be of any help?

I would appreciate any help that I could get. Any websites would also be appreciated.

Thanks

Earl

Earl;
You do not need any partitioning software as Windows XP will do it
all:

Step six on the link gives partitioning options.
