At which point of XP installation should the hard drive be partitioned?

Well by default windows XP just makes one large partition, this is done during the "blue screen" phase of the installation just after booking from a regular XP disk. All the installation can do is partition a drive with one large partition. If you want more options then look into gparted, this allows much more control e.g. non-destructive partitioning etc.. This can be very useful and should be done before booting from the XP disk If you do not have a standard XP disk then your particular OEM might do things differently. Especially is restore partitions are involved. Often they just restore an image, in this case you do not get the opportunity to do partitioning. Again look into non-destructive partitioning (gparted) to do after you've installed XP. ALWAYS BACKUP BEFORE DOING ANY PARTITIONING, YOU WILL PROBABLY BREAK SOMETHING AT SOME POINT

One day you use the partition program to partition C Drive machine turn off for some reason half way through now you you turn on machine it say no operation system re run recovery disk not work why?

Okay, if the machine lost power during the partitioning process, you will have to start over with the partitioning as all the data on the hard disk will be scrambled. The process of partitioning modifies the data structure on the hard disk in very fundamental ways, interrupting this process halfway through will leave the hard disk with corrupted or missing partitions. Most likely all partitions will need to be removed and redone. Removing corrupted partitions may require a low-level format.
