5 posts · originally from https://geek.digit.in/community/threads/hard-drive-partitioning-xp-home-edition.31866/

For Some Reason i had to Totally Recover My PC yesterday (FULL Re-Install of XP & during this All Partition which were created, had to be DELETED)

Now the C: Drive has 68GB & D: Drive (Recovery Drive) has 6.41 GB.

Now i want to Partition the HD in this way....

C: 10GB (Only for OS)
D: 10GB (My Documents)
E: 20GB (Songs & Media)
F: 27GB (All S/W & Games)
G: 6.41GB (As it is. For Recovery)
H: 1GB (For Virtual Memory).

Help with "Each Step " on how to do this Partitioning would be helpful.

My PC Config.-- HP Pavilion, XP Home Edition, 256MB RAM.
