I have a new HP elitebook 2560p. It has drive C: with 300 mb, drive d: with 61440mb plus unpartitioned space 415197and . I am putting XP on it but not sure how to partition. It did have drive E and F one for for Hp tools and one for recovery but I deleted these.

Create partition from the unpartitioned space in the Disc management.

What do u have on C:\?

Also, I am just installing and so am on the XP Profressional setup screen and wondering what to do

I always use method like (500GB drive for example)
60GB for windows, 250GB Games Rest for downloading and other stuff, its good to have 3 volumes much easier to organize, and defrag and clean

Right, but are any files on it?

If it would be my drive, I would format the HDD, than install XP and use it to create 50/60GB partition as duxducis wrote.

And than I usually create another 60GB partition for Documents and smaller files, and 1 more for large files, like video and audio files.

To have a partitions, is to separate the system from the Doc. files, so in the case of corruption on the system drive, u don't loose the files, so that's the main reason to partition.

Back up your data before u do anything.

Move Your Libraries off of the system drive...
