It'* on the XP home disk before you reformat. But you lose all info that you have on whatever partitions you are formatting. If you want to save what you have now, you can re-partition with software like Partition Magic. But if you are reformatting then just use the XP disc.

I'm not sure if it'* included on XP Home, but yes, FDISK will allow you to set up multiple partitions that Windows will see as seperate drives.
Don't ask me for details, though, I've never done this with XP
