How to partition my external HDD?
How do I make some partitions on my external passport?
I'll be using Second copy to back up my data & Acronis to back up my OS, so I wanted to put them on 2 different partitions.

Even if you gave two partitions, the drive fails, you've lost everything.
You need to Start > run, and type diskmgmt.msc.
You right-click on the unallocated space and choose create New simple volume and then set it;s size.. You can make as many as you want, but I;d suggest only two
That's because you formated the whole hard drive,'
The only thing you can go is right-click on disk 1 and choose Shrink. This will leave unallocated space for you to make partitions.
