Super Fdisk is a disk partition manager that you can use to create hard drive partitions on your Windows XP system. This freeware application is designed to enable users to create, modify and format partitions on their hard disk drives, without destroying their data.

Super Fdisk is relatively easy to use, featuring a range of powerful yet user-friendly functions. Furthermore, you can also choose to create a password for each of your partitions so as to protect your data. This tutorial will show you how to create your own hard drive partition using Super Fdisk.
