use the xp/ windows 2000 cd's, you can create partitions with them both, ull all data on your hdd this way, or you could try partition magic.

i have tried the xp cd already. it does gimme an option to create a new partition but after creating the partition it automatically starts installing xp. Windows 2000 cd is bootable but for sum reason i cant boot it.

do it the safe, clean and effecient way. via bios (if u can) from scratch. or if u prefer the CD/Disk then go here http://www.blkviper.com/index.html

1. not nessacerily! create all the partitions, then restart your comp, without xp being installed!

2. my win 2k cd is gay also! i have to use it in my dvd drive

this is a good easy one also just download and put on floppy disk then boot from disk and then it will take you thru it
