I'm going to partition my hard drive to hold 2 Operating systems one will be XP home the other half of the hard drive will be either ME edition which every body wants to take gun to it.

Last year I partiton my 10.2 gig hard drive to hold XP and 2000 when I installed windows 2000, it interfered with XP home and rendered my OS useless also when I added 2000 it refused to let me inside its OS interface and begin to make changes to the hard drive so that it would be the only obsolete OS to be on the hard drive until I could figure what the hell had happen. I talked to some people on a another board called the computer help club on MSN and they told me I had to be extremely carefull not to mess with windows XP drivers and and system files. little did I know that they were very serious and I'm lucky my hard drive is still working 11 months later.

Is there any special advice you coulf give me before I add either one of these OS for a second shot at dual booting my hard drive ? thanks for any help you could give me.

Just use QtParted with SystemRescueCD to resize your current partition. It's 100% safe for both FAT and NTFS (although it forces a check at boot for NTFS).

The site seems to be down right now... meh.
