I am adding a second hard drive to my dell running xp. The second drive is the same brand/model/size as the primary disk Is there a simple way to partition and format the second drive to match the primary? I am not looking to copy data just create the partitions. It looks like my primary drive has 3 partitions all basic. 1. 55 MB FAT (EISA Configuration) 2. 131.64 GB NTFS - This is my C: 3. 17.32 GB FAT32 - I am guessing this is my DSR (Dell System Restore) I apologize if this has been answered elsewhere but I cannot find it. I know in unix you can use a combination of prtvtoc and fmthard to do this but I do not know windows. Thanks so much for your help.
I would probably use the free gparted to partitioned it. It's a bootcd that can conduct the basic partitioning tasks. http://gparted.sourceforge.net/screenshots.php
