Vista Sp1 partiton question

AndrewJ · 23-10-2007, 22:00

Hi all.

I am on Vista Sp1 I want to make a 2GB partition for Windows XP while my partner users a device which only works in Xp.

What program would I use to get this done.

Partition Magic?

Althought not free, Partition magic will do the job but back up anything you want to keep before trusting it with the integrity of the drive.

create a virtual machine with vmware no need to dual boot

Been told that I would not be able to use the USB devices though Zingle, of which I require for this short time I need XP.

I'd use a friends pc but about everyone I know has moved to Vista.

Sods law isn't it

May be worth having a read of this.

I thought you could make a partition going into control panel, system and maintenance, administrative tools

well you been told wrong.

VMware when in focus installs usb devices. I run my epson r300 printer and a couple of other devices that have no function in Vista 64 but work fine on VM xp
