Can I load Windows XP on a drive that already has files

[iain80]

Afternoon all!,

What I am trying to do is use my secondary TB drive as my primary drive. I have a TB drive now to store files but I want to load an OS on it but not have to format it. Can I just make a partition on the drive and load the OS onto that or is there an easier way to do it or is it not possible.


Thanks!

You have to partition the drive with 1st partition empty and set as primary and active. There are lots of free apps you can download to do it, google is you friend.
