Hi.
I have one 63GB partition for Windows Vista, then a 234GB partition for storage and installation of programs and my games etc.., but I am wanting to install Windows XP onto the same sata drive due to the fact I seem to have problems getting XP to work on my IDE drive and the fact the 160gb IDE drive seems to slow Windows down. The problem is, I need to split the (F
partition so that I have a partition for Windows XP, I'll then have 3 partitions on this SATA drive (This is ok is it? wont slow the drive down right?), anyway, the problem is, as you can see in the screenshot, the partition is accessible, but for some reason, in Paragon Partition Manager, the drive is shown as unformated? How come is this? Is there any possible way to correct it other than format it, formatting it would mean I would need to transfer all 119gb of data which would take 5+ hours which I really dont want to do.
Anyway screenshot here:
Thanks
Willz.
