Partitioning a drive with xp

[cyberpol]

Is it possible to partition a drive running on xp without having to format it?

I would like to know if you ever get it to work ive been trying to do it for ages, and my copy of xp has just f***ed up.....

after you create a partition, you must format the partition to make it usable by the system.

Just leave the current partiton there without doing any changes and format it. That's all there is.

Sure. Why the heck wouldn't it be?

From RUN, type "diskmgmt.msc", right click on the partition you want to format, and choose "Format" from the option list.

Done deal.
