if youre installing xp, you can create your own partitions when you reformat using the setup program in the cd. otherwise just install and download partition magic

BootIt NG is the answer here. http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/ will have it for a free download and when you extract the zip file, u get an EXE. Run that and you'll be asked to insert a floppy disk and press Y. That's it! Make sure that u read the documentation well before you attempt re-partitioning ur HDD.

FAT16 can only handle up to 2 gigs hdds... you have to convert it to FAT32 (or NTFS), included in win95B and better
