partition hard disk

What OS? If it's WinXP, then manage your computer and 'Disk Management'. Older OS' vary, and don't even ask about linux... If at an API level, and it's NT,W2K or XP, there are IOCTL functions to do it (I've done it for CF cards, for example). If you want to resize partitions, you need partition manager software, like Partition Magic or similar. Steve S Developer for hire!

OS is supporting: Windows NT/2000/XP: NTFS, FAT, FAT32 Windows 98/ME: FAT, FAT32 Windows 95 SP2: FAT, FAT32 (I think it is SP2 or SE) Windows 95: FAT DOS: Don't go there: Windows NT/2000/XP: If you start instalation from cd at boot, then you will come up to manage partition. you have "Disk Managment" under administration tools. Windows 95/98/ME: All these windows still support dos, so you can use FDISK command. NOTE: On windows ME, you have to boot to dos with system disk or boot cd. Thats the only way to boot dos. Partition type Limitation: NTFS: Only NT base windows can access. FAT: Only up to 2GB for single partition. FAT32: This partition doesn't support a single file larger than 4GB Linux: There are a lot of distribution and there are a few partition standart. While installing linux, setup will resize your partition and create two other: 1- EXT, EXT2 or RESIZER (Linux support all this partition and every distribution has its ovn default partiton) 2- Swap (This partiton will be used for Virtual Memory) Partition Manager is great tool for creating partition. If you use partition manager or any other advance manager then note this: The first partition must be primary. All other must be secondary. If you want any more information and if you have manager like Partiton Manager, then look for their Help. ps: I hope this works
