With Windows Vista, you can partition your hard drive with out necessary using Partition Magic or any other third party partition software.
This is one of my few reasons I may fancy using Windows Vista over old versions of other windows operating systems.
Using the few steps below you can be able to partition your hard drive
Choose Disk Management from the Computer Management console to view your partitions.
Right click on the existing partition and choose “shrink volume” to create space for your new partition.
Enter amount of space to shrink
Right click on the new unallocated space and choose “New Simple Volume”
Format the new partition as NTFS and give it a name.
Windows Vista will format the new partition inside the Disk Management Console, after some minutes your newly created partition will be viewable and ready to read and write to.
