yes you can partition when you are installing windows or any other os. if you can attach the hard drive to another computer, you can partition there.

If you are installing XP, after it first boots off the CD, I think its "enter" then F8 to agree, then you will be presented with a list of hdd's in your system, it is here that you can press "c" (i think) to create a new partition and then size it accordingly (keep in mind its in MB not GB)


---------------
"The MB is 31 C and the CPU is 109 C. I think it's the CPU overheating."
