partitioning win xp ?
I would like to partition it into three drives with XP on the C Drive and get rid of ME completely. I would also like to stay with FAT32 for the time being. Will the XP(Full Version)installation proceedure give me these options as long as I make each partition less than 32GB? I'm too scared to do the partitioning

Q: True large disk geometry? [Partitioning during install]
Is it advisable to install SQL Server / WSS (I mean the base software, not the actual databases, portals) in the OS partition? Sure, if you make sure to allocate enough space for that volume. I put my applications in the OS partition. Again, with a single array, all this is useful for is organization.

partitioning
Then you can put LILO on hda1 instead of the MBR and not have to worry about large disk support or Windows stepping on it (which Windows will tend to do when you install or upgrade). If you are not sure how to translate the drive, just make a small DOS partition and then remove that when you partition it with Linux

Missed partitioning option during install
Press F8 to continue the install 7. Continue on until you get to the partitioning. Make sure you don't fumble the ball like I did. 8. Continue to the end of set up.

Suppose you want to create a new partition for /var: Boot into single-user mode - this is because with /var you will be deleting stuff that is currently in use in a multi-user environment. It isn't necessary if you're moving /home or the like. # cfdisk /dev/hdc # partition new hard disk hdc?

Install partitioning problem
Anyway, I need to install Solaris 8 on a V240 with 2-70GB hard drives and 2-146GB drives (the bigger drives are for application files). I will mirror (using Veritas) the system drive - one of the smaller drives - on the other one. My question is about partitioning. I guess I don't understand how I am to partition

activation & disk formatting/ partitioning
A problem still exists when not booting from the first primary partition. This problem is not yet solved in Service Pack 4, we can hope for a solution in a subsequent Service Pack.

Partitioning Software (I Can't Install)
Yes, you can install froom the XP CD-ROM: Boot from the CD ROM, then start to go through the steps to *install* XP. Don't bother with the 'Recovery Console' - even if you simply want to re-partition at this point - as it won't work. If you simply want to re-partition, boot from the XP CD-ROM go through the motions
