I own a Inspiron 6440 from Dell which came with Vista pre-installed. I don't like Vista at all.
I found this tutorial http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vis...vista-computer/
about dual-booting.
I would like to know if I have to format my C: drive with Vista on it before doing it to have more space.
I would like to know which version of Windows XP I should get? SP2?
Also, my harddisk was already partitionned when I received it. When I go in the Disk Management
Sorry for the french
So it's written
55 mb

RECOVERY (D![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
2,00 gb
Healthy (Principal Partition)
OS (C![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
145,00 gb NTFS
Healthy (System, Start, Shared Files, blabla, Principal Partition)
-(nothing)-
2,00gb
Healthy ( Principal Partition)
So I have 3 principal partitions...
Can I also make another partition to have my data shared between the 2 OS?
I hate Vista and Dell...
EDIT : And oh while I'm here, I bought a 8gb SD card for my dad and it's formatted in FAT32 which his camera don't give a damn. about so I need to put it into Fat16 (So I'll have a 2gb SD card uh..) but I can't. All I can is NTFS and FAT32. Do you guys know a top secret way or a software to format it in FAT16?
