Advice please:
I have installed 2nd 250 G HDD and plan to install XP on it, and then do a
dual boot configuration with Vista Home Premium (which came installed on new
Dell E520). I've read up on the dual boot issues -- so my question is not
about dual boot. It's about HDD formatting.

Any recommendations about the best way to pre-format the 2nd HDD to provide
for:
1) boot partition
2) XP installation
3) and third partition for data

Thanks.
