you have to partition it I dont know if there are free ones I will look around and see.

Partitions.

Enter the Windows setup with your CD, and delete the partitions, and create 2 new ones. I would say allocate about 5GB (give or take) to Win XP, and then leave the rest to your files.

Make sure you format both in NTFS.

I did not know that i heard of it but when I went on the cd I did not see the option.

you hit escapse when the install ane repair option come up on the xp cd

on this page you can create and delete partitions. I would make 1 15 gb OS drive and make the rest the my documents folder
