partition question.....

[Shovelhead]

maybe simple...but I never had to do it before.

If I split my drive after I have Windows installed...can I just install Windows on the other side OR do I
have to do it through the initial format blue screen??????
Thank you Techman!!!!!!

If you partition your hard drive, and windows is installed already on the other side. then it's done right??????????

uhhhh yehhhh......after my initial Windows is installed....If I partition,
can I install Windows on the other side on NSTF after the fact???
OR does it have to be done while formatting the drive??

You can partition after Windows is installed, but you SHOULD USE a partition manager to do that job to get best result wo/lossing your data.

Default, Windows is installed on PRIMARY partition. If you need to move it to another partition you need another software.

Are you asking if you can have 2 copys (installs) of windows on one drive partitioned as two?
