Partitioning under XP

I'm partitioning using the installation cd. i would like a 5gig partition for Win Xp and apps, and the rest of my drive for games and storage. How do i do this. In the partition screen does that mean i partition the 5 gig and leave the rest as unpartitioned space, or do i partition 2 spaces, but then it forces me to leave out 8mb of unpartitioned space....

thanx for any help

hello,

no problem at all for the 8MB unpartitioned, I mean, if u use the W2k/XP installation partition system, u'll always have 8MB free ...

anyway, u need to make 2 partitions (the first as 5GB for XP & apps, the second the other disk space for your pleasure ) and then install XP!

Thx, bye
