Want new partition on current drive
I just got a new laptop with software, OS on it and I want to partition the drive. Can I do this without reformat of the current drive? Just want to creat a second partition. WinXP Home version.

You can, but you'll need a tool like Partition Magic to do it.

I've only used the software twice, but it worked great both times I used it. Easy to figure out too.
