An older friend of mine just ordered one of the Dell 2350 packages. XP comes loaded on it. He wants to partition his 30 gig hd into 3 different drives. He's settled on a 9,10, and 11 gig split. I've used fdisk for 98 quite a bit, could almost recite the Radified Guide myself.I'm still using 98SE and don't know a thing about XP. I went to Bootdisk.com and looked at the boot floppy download, it spans 3 floppies. My question is, is there a disk partitioning utility on the XP Disc? Does it work like the fat 32 utility on 98? I'm pretty comfortable with the MS version of Fdisk, I'm hoping the XP version is at least comparable. I understand that XP arlready has the boot instructions on it, so the pc boots directly from the CD during setup, if configured in BIOS. I want to take the new dell, re-partition it like my friend wants,re-format the new partitions, then do a new install from the Dell restore CD.Tips? Sites I need to look at? Screwups I can or should avoid? Thanks.
