on 4/14/2007 Thank you Matt for info on partitioning large drives. I have WindowsXP installed on my C drive. I want to partition my 2nd drive into 2 partitions, D and E with D being larger than E. The info on formatting 2nd drive was great, but how do I partition into 2? Any help? Thanks, Lilly

on 4/3/2007 This article was a GOD SEND! I had been told repeatedly by Gateway that there was no way to format the new internal drive they just sold me without my original CD's from 8 years ago (they are long gone). I was so frustrated. I came across this article and I formatted my new drive in TEN minutes! If I could hug you, I would. Thanks again!

on 4/19/2008 I just formatted and loaded XP Pro on my old Gateway. The instructions were clear, all the screens did what you said it would do, and everything worked perfectly! Thanks for a great article!!

on 2/12/2007 -I followed the instructions for formatting and reinstalling xp from the Cd, but it still isn't working. I changed the boot sequence in BIOS to the CDROM (E:) drive letter before hard drives but it still boots up normally using the hard drive. Can anyone help me on this issue?
