Goto start menu. right click "computer" and select "manage" you will see a list to the right. double click "disk management" Right click the drive you want your OS on. Select "shrink" then type in how much space you want on the new partition. and follow the steps. once finished select the partition. It should say "unallocated space" select format and choose the NTFS file system. When you install the OS just select that drive.
