I have been trying to find information on partitioning XP
to have one for XP, one for my data and one for swap
files.

The only info I have found as of yet is about other
Oerating Systems, not XP.

Could you tell me if this is my best route and how to
find the information to accomplish this?

Sincerely,

Thomas
