My office just bought a HP PC dc 7800.
it is installed with a 250Gb HDD.

222 Gb is for local disk C :- for OS and data.
10Gb for local disk D :- for recovery


i want to divide the partition C to 2 and that will be C and a new partition that would be E.
then i hv used the partition magic 7 to resize and create the new partition . after i applied the changes that i want . the pc restart.
After bios before entering windows, there the resizing happened. but it says that too much error occurred. that the changes has been cancel.

How to create a partition

Since most new computers
today come with Windows Vista already installed, your hard drive should have a partition created already, so we'll resize it and add new ones.

First of all, you should know that after you used your computer with a single partition on its hard drive, the files will become fragmented, and you may not resize it properly, so before everything else, be sure to defragment your drive. Now, backup your data, "just in case", and let's start!

* Click on the Start menu
* Right click on My Computer and click on Manage
* If you get a User Account Control dialog here, simply click Continue
* In the left pane, choose the Storage category and open Disk Management. What you will find here are the partitions on your hard drive
* Right click on the partition that you wish to change.
* Choose Shrink Volume to shrink the selected partition
* Enter the new size for the partition, and click Shrink
* Now, you will notice that the partition is smaller, and some free space is available to create a new one; right click on the "free space" area.
* Choose "New Simple Volume" from the menu that appears, then click Next.

By default, Windows Vista will use all the free available space to create the new partition. Change the size if you need, or simply click Next if you agree with the default size.

Now that your new partition is almost created, you have to baptize it, so choose a drive letter and click Next.

At last, you should change the file system settings and format your new drive. In most cases, the NTFS file system using the default allocation unit size and a Quick Format should be fine. If you want a nick name for your new partition, baptize it again, using a suggestive name, such as "Documents", for example. Now, you new partition, will be also known as "Documents". Click Next...and you're done!

partition magic man...easy as 1 2 3
