Hello Contrapositive,

Looks like you've gotten some good advice here already.

This is all great advice. Thanks so much To answer some other questions, I
have 2GB of RAM, and an AMD Athlon 64 3000+.

Anyway, now that I'm ready to create my partitions, I notice that XP skips
over the D designation for drive lettering -- i.e. it goes from C to E.
Also, as I add partitions, a single partition of 8MB of "unpartitioned
space" shows up at the end.

Is this all because I'm using the XP disk to create partitions? Should I use
fdisk instead?
