Fresh install advice

Cheers mate, i will download the partition application you suggested but i should be able to create another 2 partitions using disk management shouldn't i? i'm always a little wary when using 3rd party tools thats all :)

Yes, there is good reason to use Disk Management for all operations possible.

But if you run into any it cannot do, then I'd go with PW CD as it has never failed in hundreds of complicated partitioning operations we have helped with here.

wicked thanks a million mate really appreciate all your help
