I'm building a new machine and will be using XP oem. I've gotten some "how to" tutorials about XP from the internet, but they are all pretty vague when it comes to partitions. I want to partition my 80gig drive into 5 equal partitions. I do not want to purchase or use a 3rd party software like Partition Magic. Will I be able to partition my drive using the utilities of WinXP? If so, could you tell me in a step by step way. This computer is my first build, and I have never installed an OS before. The components I will be using are as follows.
Soyo SY-KT333 Dragon Ultra Platinum Edition Via KT333
AMD Athlon XP 2100+ 1.73GHz Processor Retail w/Fan and Heatsink
Gainward GeForce4 PowerPack! Ultra/650XP Golden SampleTi4200
2 times Kingston 512MB DDR333 PC2700 Memory
