Installing Windows on partition

[Deathawk]

If my friend were to install Windows XP on his harddrive, because his first partition of Windows XP wasn't working, would he be able to install a 2nd partition of Windows XP onto the harddrive, and then transfer the files he needs onto the other partition?

yes, but you'll need a boot program that will allow you to make a new partition without being in windows, i think Partition MAgic can do it, not sure though.

Once he gets XP installed just transfer the files over and reformat the other partition within the new installation of XP.
