How do you find FDISk on Windows XP? I want to
partition my 40GB hard drive. I have partition hard
drives on my old computer, using Windows 98, but have had
no success with Windows XP.
Thanks

I would NOT recommend partitioning your hard drive UNLESS it is a secondary
drive. Even if it is a secondary drive I still would not do this.
The reason is you will significantly loose performance from that drive
ESPECIALLY if it's a system drive (boot drive)
I used to be a fan of partitioning and now I just will buy a cheep secondary
drive and my system is now lightning fast.

Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Computer Management.
Click the "Disk Management" icon.
Click the "Disk Management" icon.
If you're looking to wipe XP and start over, you'll want
to boot directly from the XP setup CD, which will let you
repartition and format before installing.
