Using multiple partitions in XP

IF you haven't loaded too much onto your hard drive and willing to reformat
it you can try this
This is a copy from a previous posting

it works under Win2K and XP I think the articles are for W2k or Win2003
server
but works the same in XP Pro

You can use an unattended install to do this.

You need to use Setupmgr.exe (located in the PRO\SUPPORT\TOOLS\DEPLOY.CAB
file on the XP CD) to create an unattended install file. Then add the
following line to the [GuiUNattended] section of the unattend.txt or
winnt.sif file created by SetupMgr.exe

ProfilesDir = z:\foldername (I think don't know for sure that
z:\foldername would be D:\
Documents and settings)

[GuiUNattended]
ProfilesDir = z:\foldername
