[Answered] Partitioning Stuff

NeenahDee · 05-23-2007

I've partitioned my drive in five sections. Four of them were done at the time of my XP install. The fifth was added later. My son seems to think there's something else I need to do so the computer recognizes them for what they are: C, Paging file--the added later section, My Documents, Programs and Downloads. I've been searching here for an hour or more and can't find the tutorial on partitioning.

I don't recall having to do anything else once I set up the partitions. Has the old grey matter failed me, or am I good to go as is? If anyone can refresh my memory on where to find the guide, I'd appreciate it.

Hi NeenahDee,

In My Computer, are they not showing up in there?

NeenahDee · 05-23-2007

Yep, they are.

I'll take that as I'm good to go, and that I hadn't forgotten anything from the last time I did this. Which was a couple years ago, actually. Just checking, in case memory had failed--mine, not the computer's . . .

Thanks Gar!!
