correct partition magic will split your c drive and not effect your data or the m/d partition

HI. i well setup my disk using media direct 3. So i had 4 partions. I wanted to get the same view as u, to partition d drive into 2 parts. But i tried partition magic, it would not do it. It gave some kinda error I think. I gave up at that time. But now I do need it as I want to install xp on d while having vista on c and having e for other stuff. any tips?? thanks
