Explain more of what you're trying to do.
You can shrink a partition with disk manager and create new ones if that's
what you mean, but you need to create the partitions before installing
programs that will use those drives.
For example, if you want dimension to use drive/partition D for samples, and
you installed it on C originally, you could move the folder and make some
registry changes to get it to work, however for other software it's not that
simple, they require an uninstall/reinstall into the new drive.
HTH, D!J!X!

Subject: [realmusicians] DJX, Partitioning After XP Installation?
DJX, I couldn't cope with setting up a partition for XP during installation,
and; afterward; I needed to test everything to make sure it all could work
on that computer, before its return period ran out.
Everything does work okay, the Emu PCIE soundcard is working, I've already
done most of configuring for a daw.
Now, if it isn't too much of a hassle, I'd like XP in its own partition, and
a couple of other partitions for saved data, loops, samples, and such stuff.
I've previously used DiskPart without much effort, and I think XP's Disk
Manager can also create partitions, even logical drives.
Do I need to image already installed software onto the partition I want it
on, or is there some way in DiskPart or Disk Manager to select the already
installed software to go into a particular partition?
I'd rather not un install and re install things like the sound card's
software, now that the sound card is up and working correctly.
Thanks for any tips,
Indigo L
