Hello Everyone, I know this has been discussed here
recently but I need some additional information in
reference to partitioning a hard drive. I just
received a brand new Dell computer running XP Media
with a 260gig hard drive. I would like to segregate
the operating system from the programs that I will be
transferring to it from my old computer. I do have
Partition Magic however I have never used it.
1.How much space does the operating system need?
2.What format should I use for the partitions?
3.Is there any chance that I erase the operating
system when doing this procedure?
4.Any other advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance
Donald DeWitt
