I'm very new to partitions and I couldn't quite find what I was looking for in the search, so here it goes:
I have a 40 GB hard drive with Windows 98 SE installed on it. I have about 21 GB free. I just bought Windows XP Professional Ed. and want to install a dual boot system. Setup won't allow me to partition the C:\ Drive (I press C when highlighted but nothing happens) so I want to use fDisk or Super fDisk to make a 16 GB Partition.
From the stuff I've read on Microsoft's website, it seems like making a partition like this will erase my entire hard drive. Is this true? I just want a blank partition to install Windows XP onto and boot up from. Thanks in Advance.
