You can select to partition during installation of Windows XP. If you
already have an installed system use a tool like "Partition Magic".

Hi,

You can, but how depends on your current setup. If C: currently encompasses
all of your drive, you will need a third party partitioning program to do
this. If you have free space on the drive, then you can use disk manager
(start/run diskmgmt.msc) to create a new partition.

Partitioning programs:

BootIT NG www.terabyteunlimited.com
Partition Magic www.powerquest.com/partitionmagic
Partition Commander http://www.v-com.com/product/pc_ind.html
Ranish Partition Manager http://www.ranish.com/part/

Oh, it's just a spelling mistake. He might not even have english as first
language (like me). I think we all understood what he meant.

Do you mean "partition"? Do you want to change the existing partition
structure of the drives without losing what's on them?

Unfortunately, no version of Windows provides any way of changing the
existing partition structure of the drive nondestructively. The only way to
do what you want is with third-party software. Partition Magic is the
best-known such program, but there are freeware/shareware alternatives. One
such program is BootIt Next Generation. It's shareware, but comes with a
free 30-day trial, so you should be able to do what you want within that 30
days. I haven't used it myself, but it comes highly recommended by several
other MVPs here.

Whatever software you use, make sure you have a good backup before
beginning. Although there's no reason to expect a problem, things *can* go
wrong.

You can, and have been told how. What are you trying to accomplish?
