Any good suggestions for a tool to partition a hard-drive? I'm getting a
laptop with a 80GB Hard-drive and with XP Pro preloaded from Dell and want
to be able to split the HD 40Gb for XP Pro/40Gb for XP Home

You can use a utility such as Partition Magic...
but if your machine has XP pro...I would not bother to install XP home

Oh,
Duh; you're right. Pro is better! Thanks for the info tho.

Hi Jeff,

Patition Magic is one of the better partitioning applications. One, in fact,
i use a lot.
I do, however, have to agree with Philo, if you machine is coming
pre-installed with XP Pro then there isn't much use putting XP Home on the
machine. XP Pro is by far the better of the two operating systems.
