How to Partition A Hard Drive

There are many reasons to partition your hard drive: security, data redundancy, or simply for filing. And it's easier than you think. We show you how.


Shrink The C: Drive
2a. disk management

In the Start screen (Windows 8) or Start menu (Windows 7), start typing the command "Disk Management". In Windows 8, the program will appear and you can start it from there. In Windows 7, it will start up after you hit enter. Don't worry, after this step everything works the same in both versions of Windows.
2b. shrink volume

Find the C: drive on the graphic display (usually on the line marked Disk 0) and right click on it.

Choose Shrink Volume, which will bring up a dialog box. Enter the amount of space to shrink the C: drive (102,400MB for a 100GB partition, etc.). Click on the Shrink button.
