How to manage your disks using only Windows Vista's Disk Management tool.
The New Simple Volume Wizard will start. Click on Next.
In the second window of this wizard you will see the maximum available disk space. Select the size of the new partition (in megabytes) and click on Next.
Now you can assign a drive letter to the new partition. Select the letter you desire from the drop down list and click on Next.
In the next window you can choose whether you want to format the new partition or not. If you chose for now not to format the new volume, in order to use it, you will have to format it anyway later. If you choose the second option, you will have to select the desired file system and the allocation unit size. The default values (NTFS file system & default allocation unit size) are very good so there is no need to change them. You can also type the label of the new partition and select the quick format option.
If you just installed a new hard disk it is recommended that you perform a full format and not a quick one. In other cases the quick format is a good option.
When you are done setting all the needed options, click on Next.
