Once setup has finished you can install partition magic or another non-destructive partitioning app and create more partitions if you need to.

Could you pls guide me on the steps to do this? My machine was infected by a virus recently, and I am attempting a clean install with my new copy of XP, and then install the drivers that came with the Dell CD. T I have modified setup to boot from the CD, but still the system hangs after booting up, and refused to read the DVD drive if I want to explore the DVD to initiate Setup. Thanks.

It has only one fan and the other vent is empty also. I am very concerned but Dell couldn't give me a consistent answer. Many sites reviewed I9400 mentioned there are two fans. I purchased two Dell Inspiron 9400 and both have one fan only. I returned the first one. I am wondering if I should the 2nd one??? I just got a Inspiron 9400.
