This may be a very stupid question but I just have to ask....... I am going to be building a new system and was sitting thinking about all the things I'll need to do when all of the sudden it dawned on me I have never partitioned a drive. I have always just run the drive like it is (one big drive) this time I would like to break it into a few as my new drive will be a 60 gig drive. my intention is to run two different OS's  winXP and 98 from two different drives. ok here is the deal I have a copy of Partition Magic ver 7. but I am wondering now, do I have to Partition the drive before I load the OS and if so am I to assume that Partition Magic runs in DOS mode.....?? also how does this affect the setup when it recognizes the drive at startup.....does it still recognize it as c: drive........?
