i have 2 500GB hard discs, one with 7 and 1 with XP at the moment i am able to choose which drive i boot from by F12 on boot up. (bios controlled) and all ok and works well..
now on my XP drive i wish to create
3 Primary partitions 100GB - 100GB - 300GB.
(primary means i can make them bootable with OS.? correct?)
inside 1 primary i need 4 logical partitions ( for a particular application).

All primary will have the same OS installed on them (XP).
Also is it posible to only make the partition i am working in show up under "my computor" otherwise i will have many disk drives showing... (just for house keeping-tidyness)
