Sir Key · September 11th, 2003

title says it all.. i bought myself a new 80 Gb HD and i've already plugged it in and all but i don't have my winxp install cd around

so i dunno how to make a partition on the new hd... i already know about partition magic of course and i could also handle fdisk but i wanted to know if there's alittle program that can quickly make me a ntfs partition thx in advance...

Boot into Xp, right click on my computer and select manage.

You should be able to partition there IIRC.
