Here's a video that I created on how to shrink a hard drive volume to allow for the creation of separate partitions. You might not be able to see it well by viewing it in this thread, so if you go to the youtube video and choose 720p, you should be able to follow it along better. I didn't get the video resolution correct during the record session so it's a bit horizontally stretched on my screen, but you should be able to still make it out if you view it in HD.
First, you'll need to open the start menu
Next, right-click on "Computer" or "My Computer" depending on what you have it named, and choose manage.
In the Storage item on the left pane, choose "Disk Management"
In here, you'll want to choose the drive volume that you want to shrink by right-clicking on one of the ones in the list and choosing "Shrink Volume"
Now you just have to enter in the amount of space that you want to free up on the disk in MB. (1024MB = 1GB)
Enjoy
