Hi friends,

I am little confused about the subject. Can you tell me how should I partition my 250 GB hard drive. I am planning to install both Windows XP & Windows Vista.

As I am a real gamer, I have lots of games, and I would like to have different drives for different purpose. Here are my thinkings on the subject:

C: for xp - 10 GB (my secondary OS)
D: for vista- 20Gb (primary OS)
remaining 4 drives of 50 Gb each for Movie, Games, Documents, etc.

Your views are welcome… Also I’m looking for a good software for partitioning my HDD. If you have any suggestion…

Thanks.

You can use partition magic to do the work.
i you haven't intalled system yet,you can use windows installation disc to partition your HDD.
install XP first,then Vista.

Try freeware EASSEUS Partition Manager Home Edtion, it works well on my computer.

Acronis Disk Director Suite has boot manager to help you manage two systems on one disk. You can resize and create any partition you want with this program, here is a live tutorial to show you how to shrink existing partition and create new partitions http://www.geeksdo.com/shrink-c-create-partition.html
