Question
Large hard drive and WinXP SP1a
I got a 160 GB WD for X-mas and I'm installing it as the only HD in a WinXP system. I intend to set aside a 6 GB partition for the operating system. If I install that way, leaving the rest of the hard drive untouched, can I install SP1a and then format the rest of the HD without losing any space for data?
