I recently bought a new comp, its just one clump of drive (80 gig) with XP on it. I want to split the 80 gig up into little drives, how do I go about this? Am I going to have to reformate XP and then do what?

This can be done with Partition Magic. There are other programs that will do it as well.

If this is a Brand-name Computer eg Dell etc - and you have only the Vendor's Recovery CD - then - if you Partition the HDD - it is possible that you may not be able to Re-Install XP from the Vendor's CD
