Unlike other setup disks I have encountered, the one with this computer
doesn't offer the options like formatting and choosing the partition for
installing. I was wondering if there is a keystroke that will initialize
these options. When I boot from the disk it goes rignt to installing on the
c: drive. Please help. I am trying to setup a dual boot enviroment.
 
Some OEM computer manufacturer's restore CDs do not permit any
installation customizations. You'll need to purchase a third-
party partitioning program, such as Partition Magic, to create
a new partition for a different operating system. Otherwise,
you'll need to purchase a conventional "Full Version" of
Windows XP.

A good third-party partitioning program is Partition Magic 8.
