Good, straightforward tutorial. I knew how to partition a Mac, but not a Windows computer, so thanks.

I usually make partitions when I am installing new windows, using DOS. I didn't even know this your's method, nice to find. But I fear that if the data lost when we partioned a disk ? I mean that If my C: have 10GB cpaacity, and I have only this partition onmy system, If I partitioned it, Does the data from C: lost or it remains there ?

It depends on how much you partition it and how much space you're using on the C: drive. For example, if you have a 10 GB capacity, and you're only using 5 GB of it, then you can safely give the other partition 4-5 GB. But it's not recommended to partition your drive when you only have that much space.

The images are down, even though I already know how to do this.

EDIT: Nvm, i just realized tinypic was blocked on my computer and that's why it's not showing. (i'm at school)

I personally only partition blank drives as to avoid data loss.

@ Firestar


I found an error. You said click device manager but your supposed to use disk management.
