entschuldigung für die mail auf english, aber ihr werdet mein englisch eher als mein deutsch besser verstehen können...

nicht erschrecken! ist ganz einfach.
vielen dank!

I want to make a dual boot system with windows xp pro:

1.- for general use
2.- a very clean one with the minimum possible only to digital record professionally

Then to make 4 partitions:

2 of them are going to be the systems to boot described above, the other 2 partitions are intended as partitions to store data.

In one partition the data for “general use” will be stored
In the other the music “to record” is going to be stored.

Is my idea logical?

I have a Sony Vaio Laptop PCG K 37.

The partition that is going to store “the recorded music” is going to be of course the largest one.

When I boot from the windows xp CD, this is what I get:

(Toshiba Drive MK 8025 GAS, on Sony Vaio Laptop)

76317 MB on Hard Disk 0, ID=0, Bus=0 <an atapi> MBR
-: partition 1 (EISA Utilities oder Dienstprogramme) 5130 MB <1849 MB free>
C: partition 2 71186 MB <62074 MB free>

Please me give advice on how to proceed.

Thank you very much.

Hi there!
No worries. Here we go:
1. check this site http://freepctech.com/pc/001/dual_boot_guide.shtml
1. Fuer deutsche leser eineGoogle Übersetzung
The whole thing is fairly simple!
2. Once you have installed the two OS, you should download some sort of software that takes care of partitioning. Like Partition Magic
3. Size and OS used for the particular activities is really up to you.
