Hospitaldoctor1,
Looking at your screenshot of Disk Management here, you will need to shrink the C: partition by how much space you want for the new D: partition using the link in step 1 of this tutorial on the first page. Afterwards, that will give you the black unallocated space to then create a simple new volume with as the D: partition. :)
hi,
i just got my new computer with 7 pro installed.
says that my os (c:) is 434 gb free of 451 gb.
i want to make another partition, D: to store all my music and stuff.
what do i enter to make each partition have the equal amount of space? my hd is supposed to be 500gb so i was planning on having each partition be 250gb big. thanks.
Hello KPB, and welcome to Seven Forums.
The hard drive may say 500GB, but it true life it will only be 465.76 GB instead with 451 GB of it for the C: drive total due to the way manufacturers advertise the size.
Anyways, you can use the link in step 1 in METHOD ONE to shrink the C: drive by how much you want the D: drive to be. Afterwards, use the rest of the steps in METHOD ONE to create the new D: partition. :)
Hope this helps,
Shawn
hi shawn,
thanks for the reply and welcome.
i dont wish to sound like a noob , but can you help me on how much exactly i need to enter to shrink it and to create a new partition?
thanks.
here's a screenshot
No problem. If you want to split the C: drive in half say to 225 GB for the D: drive, then that would be 230400 MB (1 GB = 1024 MB). :)
Correct. :)
Be sure to see METHOD ONE in the tutorial on the first page of this tutorial for more detailed instructions on how though.
