|
|
Anyway, my friend has a computer with WIndows ME installed (came with the computer). and I say its absolutely horrible, you can't do anything with it. Is there anyway to perform a non-destructive partition on it and create a dual boot with windows XP? |

so this software will allow non-destructive partitioning. and its possible to create a new partition when the primary partition uses the maximum disk space, without any loss of data? |

Partition magic can resize the parition (from free disk space) which can allow you to make another partition from the unused space, I've done it before with no problems |

You should be able to install windows XP on top of it, in a different directory.
And then modify your boot.ini file to allow it to boot both. |
