Hi,

I have bought a brand new P4 system with XP Home and it's great but with an 80GB HDD I would like to create a Logical Partition for storing stuff. I draw Fractals and have a lot of music files and would like to keep these off the main drive. In any case, I don't need all 80GB for just one drive!

I spoke to the techs and salesmen where I bought the machine but no one can tell me if I am allowed to do this because the system comes with OEM factory restore disks and technically I would be changing their setup if I were to even create one logical partition.

Good thing I have 512MB RAM because I am told installing any more would void my Warranty yet on my old machine HP actually told you how to add memory!

Must I wait until the Warranty expires in 11 months before I can do what I like? There was no manual with the system apart from the abyssmal XP so called booklet.
