Partitioning your Hard Drive for Windows Vista - Create/ Remove

"Watch in HD"

Hey Youtube,

Quick tutorial on 'How to partition your Hard Drive in Windows Vista'.

First off, you will want to click The Start Menu, Right-Click on Computer, Click Manage.

Then a new window should pop up, and it should be titled "Computer Management". On the left sidebar panel, you will see a tab named Disk Management, click on it.

Now right-click on the hard drive that you would like to partition and click 'Shrink Volume...'. Now slect (In Megabites) how much you want to shink for your new hard drive.

***PLEASE NOTE***
1GB = 1024MB
10GB = 10420MB
50GB = 51200MB

Once you have selected your shrink volume, click shrink. Obviously the more you shrink, the longer it will take for your computer to partition. Once you have shrunk the hard drive, you will have a new bar which will be named 'Unallocated with x amount of Gigabites'.

Now right click on the unallocated black bar and click 'New Simple Volume'. Then click next, and then select the volume size, assign the drive letter, name the partition and then click finish. The formatting takes a while so go get a drink or watch tv while you are waiting.

Once it has formatted, you're basically done.

If you want to remove the partition, all you have to do is right-click on the hard drive that you want to delete and click delete volume... Then just follow the instructions. Right-click on the C Drive and click extend volume... Then once again follow the instructions.
