| Partitioning a Hard Drive
Ok, Is it possible to partition a hard drive that IS NOT BLANK. I did not install the OS and the people who did didn't partition it. Basically I want Windows on one partition and everything else on the other, so just in case the OS dies, i don't lose everything.
1) is it possible?
2)How/what program should I use?
3)is it worth doing? (or should i backup everything, reformat, partition, reinstall, and restore? |

| It depends on the quality of the video (not the hotness...), of course.
8Mb is nothing - all hard drives need some space for their own stuff.*
