I have four. One for different software programs, another for my mediocre creations, one for my school projects and another for games. Roughly around 10GB per partition.

Pays to do it before XP is installed

May i ask, how to you do it before an OS is installed?
I have got a new Hardrive, which i was thinking of partioning (theres nothing on hardrive yet, haven't installed it etc) and i was thinking of installing WInXp on it, but how to you partion it b4 hand?
Also, when you partion drives (i've never done it) does it make your pc have "virtual drives" (eg, i partion it into 3 drives, 10gb, 10gb, & 20gb) when i go into My computer afterwards, would there be C drive 10gb, D drive 10gb, E drive 20gb etc)
Also, if i install the OS on on the the partions, can it freely use the other partins? (say i wanna install a game, can i choose to install it on a differerent partion)
also, if you wanna format 1 partion, can you do this without stuffing up the files on other partions?
thanks
