partition

[Vic]

Can you create a partition after installing Windows XP? If
yes, how?

 

[Nicholas]

The only way you can create, delete, resize or merge existing partitions,
and not harm your existing Windows XP installation, is to use
a third-party partitioning program such as Partition Magic 8
(www.powerquest.com).

Ummm... Resize or merge, sure. Create or delete? That's what the disk
manager is for. Administrative tools.

If you have to ask if your copy of XP is 32 or 64 bit, it's 32.

Actually, you can't mess with the partition that XP is installed on.
Any other partitions or free space can be changed.

To answer the question.
You can create a partition with XP tools if you have free space or another
partition that doesn't have XP installed installed.

OK, perhaps I was assuming it was obvious you couldn't delete the partition
you're booted from, running XP from, etc... sort of like it's hard to change
the tire on the car you're driving while you're still driving it down the
road...
