I'd use Partition Magic 8.0. I just got the software and split two hard
drives (one win98SE and the other WinXP H) for installing Red Hat Linux 9
and another hard drive (WinXP H) to install windows 95 for my sons older
games. The software worked perfectly. You tell PM8 what you want to do.
Nothing actually happens until you press apply. Sit back and within 15 to
20 minutes you will have your drive partitioned as you want.

Subject: [Thinkpad] Partition Drive on a T-40?
My new T-40 (2373 72U) comes with MS XP Professional and a 40GB drive, part
of which is a "hidden" recovery drive in lieu of recovery CDs. I'd like to
partition into C (for programs) and D (for data), but when I follow XPs
instructions to get through Control Panel to Disk Management, I'm told this:
"Right-click an unallocated region of a basic disk, and then click New
Partition . . . ." But I cannot figure out how to do that. I've clicked
here and there on that screen, which shows a disk in the lower pane, but I
cannot discover how to complete those instructions. Since I am the sole
owner and user, I have the necessary "administrator rights," I presume. One
source says I'd have to use Partition Magic or a similar program. My
ultimate aim is to facilitate backup. This unit does have a CD/RW drive.
Advice?
