in my vision partition is quite usefull.
i'm having 3 partitions(say folders,but unlike them when 1 partition is infected others do not get harmd).
1 for OS
2 for programm files & my documents
3 backups - that makes me save.

Downloading XP (which is illegal by the way) doesn't have anything to do with partition and I am not even sure if there is such a thing as "unpartition".
On the other hand, if you are INSTALLING windows XP, then it makes sense.
Now the question is...what the heck is your question? What are you getting stuck on? All you do is just partition the (entire) drive and install windows on it. That's it!

By "download" im assuming you mean "install from legal media"
Basically a partition is just a segment of your hard disk set aside for programs. You can only install WinXP on a formatted partition. Typically this partition is formatted as NTFS.
