Using Fdisk with XP?

CBRAWR · 05-04-2007, 01:07 PM

Is there a way to do it? I've got an NTFS partition that I need gone badly and I can't format it cause it's a system partition. I installed a fresh copy of XP onto a very small partition and want to use the NTFS space for storage so I don't lose all my shit when I have to do this again.

I think it comes on the Recovery CD. I don't know. I use PartitionMagic.

I use the Windows CD to pick which partition and format it in either NTFS or FAT (your choice), but it will install some windows files. Then just reformat it in Windows by right clicking and choose format...that's if you do not have a copy of partitionmagic

i got it to work using a windows 98 boot disk but now i have another problem.....i made my c: partition way too small and im already out of space....cant find a partition manager that is a trial/demo that will let me even resize the partitions...whats the fucking point in have a demo if you cant use it for anything?

"ranish" partition manager....free and boots from a floppy.

says its free but i think thats the one i downloaded where you can only resize 3gb of space...which wasnt anywhere near enough.....i found a cracked version of partition magic and got it all fixed up real good
