Chef-Scott 0 Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 Now that I have bought XP Home (should mean that MS is ready to now release a new OS. Yes I am s-l-o-w to switch to a new OS ). This now leads me to a question... Anyone have any links to any articles talking about partition sizes for XP? (you know, page file, OS, etc. Not the creating of the partitions). Or just any links for good informative reading on XP? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Urban_Tiger 0 Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 Hehehe, First up, in the minds of some it may have paid you to be slow to make the change hehehe, to many Win XP has been the bain of their lives rofl, to others it's absolutely fine granted !! For you only time will tell hehehe!! As for ya Partition Sizes.....Are you reffering to the ones you often needed to make when installing Win ME or 98 using FDisk prior to an install for example?? If you are, there's no need to create a partition for that purpose prior to installing XP as at least it does actually completely do all that for you. It is a lot easier to install than Win ME and 98 were for those that weren't happy working in DOS etc as obviously XP has no DOS. You just stick the CD in and off ya go basically m8 lol !! Then all you have to do is choose the H/D you want to actually install XP to, (if you have any Primary partitions, Extended partitions, or Logical drives installed), then choose whether to then Format the Drive/Partition using the NTFS Format (Quick or Full) that you are installing XP to, or just install XP to the Drive of your choice making no changes, and away you go, it does it all for you m8. There are loads of articles all overthe net for Win XP too.....Haven't ever used any myself but the following looks like it may be of some use to you too....... Windows-Help.net Good luck !
