Re: Partion magic
On the desktop, right click "My Computer" and select "Manage".
The computer management is probably broken into 3 sections and you want to look in "Disk Management" under the "Storage" section.
There you will be able to see how your drive is physically chopped up or if it is completed allocated to C:
If it isn't completely allocated, you should be able to right click on the disk and select "Create Volume". The Disk Manager walks you through this pretty easily.
Unfortunately, the disk is probably already completed allocated. This is why everybody is mentioning the 3rd Party tool. Partition Magic, www.powerquest.com/partitionmagic , will be able to partition the drive even if it is already completely allocated. It is smart enough to move any files off of the area to be formatted prior to creation of the new partition. I found PM to be very user friendly and it didn't take to walk through it. It will confirm the operation prior to executing it. The only drawback is the cost.
Your only other option (that I know of) would be to start over and reinstall Windows, creating the partitions of your choice during the setup. Time is money, so I'd rather pay $60 than lose a 1/2 day rebuilding.

Re: Partion magic
Anytime a program messes around with the disk layout beneath your data, there is always a chance that something "could" go wrong.
Not saying that you WILL have problems, but if you do, and we didn't suggest backing up the data first.. (*sigh* ..I've worked in Corporate environments far too long).
