Doesn't the reformating utilty in WIndows offer partitioning?
For 9x the partitioning is part of fdisk but that is not so with NT based
OSes. When installing Xp one is given the opportunity to install to an
existing partition if one exists or create a new partition. Formatting
comes after partitioning. When one adds a drive to an Xp system then that
one has to go to My Computer & right click on top of it then left click
Manage, Storage, Disk Management then right click on the new drive to get
an assortment of options such initialize & once that is done you can
partition then format.
