    Before you do any partition splitting, post a picture of your Disk Management. Chances are that you already have 4 primary partitions and you would get into a lot of trouble when you split a partition.

    Hi, my hard disk is 750 GB, in the disk management I can see only two partitions presently, one is around 650 GB NTFS and another is 8GB-FAt32.

    I guess 8Gb is some reserved space, and my win-7 is installed in another drive of 650GB.

    So here I want to do partition of 650 GB hard disk.

    As suggested by you, I will post the image to get feedback from you and to avoid risk.

    thanks

    If Disk Management shows only 2 partitions, you would have no problem. But that is unusual for an OEM installation. Usually there is at least another system partition and a recovery partition.

    Hello thepankajnegi, welcome to Seven Forums!


    As has been suggested post a snip of a maximized Windows 7 disk management for us to look at for you, have a look at this tutorial linked below.

    Long Live 7Forum.


    PS: You can also try with system restore, make sure you restore it from the day the problem started.
