Noob question. Fitted new Hard drive..

You need to delete the primary partition. The 131GB isnt partitioned so removing the space that is will give you the whole disk to re-partition.

i cant delete it though. It gives 3 options. Create a partition, install on this partitioned space, or delete partition.

i press d to delete.. but there isnt a partition to delete as all it says is unpartitioned space
 
Ok so i just install it. Install SP when its all up and running. Then repartition everything after that stage?

ideally i want 50gb for windows/office aps. then split the rest between games and media in 2 more partitions
 
Well i had Xp Pro on disk. and SP2 on disk, but i had to install XP, then install SP2 , i didnt know any other way of doing it.

So now i have that 130gb partition, and ive just split the other 170gb up. Shame really, i only want 30-50gb on my windows partition. the rest woulda been for media and games..

gotta admit though, ive been late getting a fast hard drive, and the performance is immense.

Windows installed in about 6 minutes lol
