El Loco

thank you for reading this and try to help me.

I want to make a dual boot system with windows xp pro:

1.- for general use
2.- a very clean one with the minimum possible only to record professionally

Then to make 4 partitions:

2 of them are going to be the systems to boot described above, the other 2 partitions are intended as partitions to store data.

In one partition the data for “general use" will be stored
In the other the music “to record” is going to be stored.

Is my idea logical?

I have a Sony Vaio Laptop PCG K 37.

The partition that is going to store “the recorded music” is going to be of course the largest one.

When I boot from the windows xp CD, this is what I get:

(Toshiba Drive MK 8025 GAS, on Sony Vaio Laptop)

76317 MB on Hard Disk 0, ID=0, Bus=0 <an atapi> MBR
-: partition 1 (EISA Utilities oder Dienstprogramme) 5130 MB <1849 MB free>
C: partition 2 71186 MB <62074 MB free>

Please me give advice on how to proceed.

Thank you very much.

Since you are doing a clean install, that should be fine. Read more about it here:

If you are wanting to partition a disk that is already loaded, try Partition Majic
