to split your drive use Partation magic 8 or similar software, you can split your drive then backup all your files.
you cannot reinstall windows xp without winxp disc.
maybe someone out here can help you with your IE problem, can you be more specific on your problem with your IE?

hmm.
can i split it, liek that?
can i install it, then split a phsical drive that already has stuff in it?
like
say i got like a 80GB drive
and i have 20gb free
and 5gb is 4 windows,
can i split the drive, windows.
then split the stuff into like 5 drives
then just get the stuff i want, put it in one drive.
and with that drive i moved stuff from, format, so i can get rid of all the stuff i dont want? | |

try using some software that creates virtual drives, it's easier and safer, like bladebox
for your explorer prob, try going to safemode if you still experience it, sometimes it's because of some softwares running... | |
