Create Hassle Free Windows Hard Disk Partition


By on Wednesday, September 12, 2012

I've been asked by many of my friends about partitioning their computer's hard disk drive. The question is how to partition it & which application is to be used. Now if you are using Windows Vista and Above you can do it straight from your Windows. No Extra Software is Needed
Here is Step by Step Tutorial to do so:


  1. Right click 'Computer' icon on your desktop or in Start menu & click 'Manage'.
  2. Enter the Administrator's credentials in the UAC prompt. 
  3. This will open The Computer Management Windo.
  4. Right click on the partition from which you want to create another partition & select ‘Shrink Volume’.
  5. Enter the shrink size.
  6.  The selected drive will be shrinked & free space will now be shown in the Computer Management window. You can create as many partitions as you wish.  
  7. Right click the Free Space & select ‘New Simple Volume’.  
  8. The New Simple Volume Wizard will now appear. Click ‘Next’. 
  9. In the next window enter the desired partition/volume size, if you want to create multiple partitions & click ‘Next’. If you want a single partition just click ‘Next’. 
  10.  In the next window assign the drive letter or, if you are not sure, leave it as it is & click ‘Next’.  
  11. Set the file system to FAT32 or NTFS, Enter the label if desired, select ‘Quick Format’, in the next window, and click ‘Next’. 
  12. Click ‘Finish’ in the next window to finish the New Simple Volume Wizard.  
  13. The new partition is now created & shown in Computer Management window.

    You can now access the new partition in the Computer.

    Wasn’t that really awesome? It’s simple & you need not pay a single penny to create a new partition! Your comments are most welcome.
