Here’s an easy way to create a new partition on your disk.
- Open the Disk Management console by typing diskmgmt.msc at an elevated command prompt.
- In Disk Management’s Graphical view, right-click an unallocated or free area, and then click New Simple Volume
- Read the Welcome page and then click Next.
- The Specify Volume Size page specifies the minimum and
maximum size for the volume in megabytes and lets you size the volume
within these limits. Size the partition in megabytes using the Simple
Volume Size field and then click Next.
- On the Assign Drive Letter Or Path page, specify whether you want to
assign a drive letter or path and then click Next. The available options
are as follows:
6. Assign The Following Drive Letter Select an available drive letter in the selection list provided. By default, Windows 7 selects the lowest available drive letter and excludes reserved drive letters as well as those assigned to local disks or network drives.
Mount In The Following Empty NTFS Folder Choose this option to mount the partition in an empty NTFS folder. You must then type the path to an existing folder or click Browse to search for or create a folder to use.
Do Not Assign A Drive Letter Or Drive Path Choose this option if you want to create the partition without assigning a drive letter or path. Later, if you want the partition to be available for storage, you can assign a drive letter or path at that time.
Use the Format Partition page to determine whether and how the volume should be formatted. If you want to format the volume, choose Format This Volume With The Following Settings, and then configure the following options: - Click Next, confirm your options, and then click Finish.
8. The Windows 7 Disk Management tool will now show the space configured as a new partition.
