I've been trying to dual boot XP over win 7. I have shrunk my c-drive to create a new L-Drive, but it shows as a logical drive. I have 3 other primary drives (System, C-Drive, and Factory Image D:). How can I make this new partition a Primary Drive so I can load XP? Any help would be appreciated.

you can have 4 primary partitions. Prebuilts often already have them used up in System, Windows, Recovery/image, and Tools. If you don't have 4 already then delete the one you have and create a primary partition. If you do have 4 already then you can convert windows to a logical since you boot off system, recovery, or tools.

Timemachine - The Partition Wizard worked, thank-you-very-much, but now I still have the problem of the Blue Screen of Death when I try to load XP (see above). Here's what I'm wondering: can I rip out all my drives and install XP on a clean C: drive then re-attach my old C:drive containing Windows 7.
