i am sorry but can you tell me where to go & split into two? thanks
it’s to small to split
even full XP won’t install on 3.75 gig drive
you just need to create a good partition
Hiren’s BootCD has partition apps on it

OH I NEED YO ADDY SO I CAN SEND YOU A XMAS CARD
what is VIRTUAL MEMORY??
Virtual memory is a computer system technique which gives an application program the impression that it has contiguous working memory (an address space), while in fact it may be physically fragmented and may even overflow on to disk storage (swap/page file).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_memory
in effect it’s a large file on your hard drive

depends what you want to do with the new partition? do you want to install Windows on it?
yes i do
you can’t screw it up so bad you can’t re-start the process
disconnect the “win98” drive
and install to the new partition the same as you did the “win98” drive and see how it goes

ok, everything is all good now BUT it loads up & right b4 the main screen comes on nothing shows up on the screen, i have to reboot in ” VGA ” mode then i can see everything like it should be, what can that be?
flat screen monitor ?
in “VGA mode” put
desk.cpl
into the run box
the go to “settings” tab and see what’s installed
it may be a refresh rate or screen resolution issue
under advanced/monitor be sure it’s set to 60Hz
