New harddisk installation

[Man Utd]

I got a new system and installed WinXP.
My harddisk has 100 GB capacity, was not partitioned. I made a 50 GB
parition during setup.
How do I make the rest 50 GB as partition after WinXP installation ? By
running FDisk ?

Right click My Computer, select Manage, Disk Management. You'll see your new hard disk listed with the existing partition and unallocated space. Right click the unallocated space and use the context menu options.

Use disk management from within XP. Right click My computer | Manage |
Disk Management.

Hi,

Now I can manage to format the second parition but it is now as partition E
because I have a DVD drive as D.
How do I swap the drive letters ?

Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Computer Management>Disk Management

Right-click on the drive you want to change and you'll see you have the
Change Drive Letter option.
