New partition in WinXP


New partition in WinXP

It's more involved, but it's well thought out.


remember: The only thing worse than not having a backup it thinking that you do.

Perhaps I've been wrong to blindly folow the medical superstitions of past centuries. Maybe we barbers should test these assumptions analytically, using a "scientific method". Maybe this could lead the way to a new age, a Renaissance! Naaaaahhh!

Eh, already tried that. I don't have access to a floppy drive.
