CaptBaritone Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 I am running windows XP Pro, and would like to create a clean install. However, I would like to do it without losing my current install untill I am sure the new install will work, and I have all my applications installed and working. What would be the best way to go about doing that? I have three internal hard drives which could be used to boot from if that would help.I appricate the help alot.

gandalfgrey Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 If one of your hard drives as free(unpartitioned) space, just boot to xp cd and select the free space.If not, you'd have to resize or delete one of the partitions you currently have. It can be dangerous with NTFS though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
