Partitioning

[Monkey]

I'm getting ready to install windows 7, but I want to install it on another partition of my HD to make sure I like it before i get rid of my XP. However, my HD is already partitioned into 2 drives, is there a way to make a partition from a partition?

example..
My HD is 200gb I have
part A= 100
Part b= 100
I would like to make part B 50 and then make a part C for the other 50.

is this possible ?

But, once you install 7 you will never need xp again.

yea,
thats my hope. but I am always weary of installing a new OS.

Does win 7 have a driver fetcher or do i need to secure those on a usb or something before i install?

You know you could just Test Drive Win7.

Save you a whole lot of time and trouble.
