Hi danishhafiz007,
I would suggest you to create the recovery discs first using Dell Backup and Recovery. Please follow the steps mentioned below to create a new partition on the computer. If you are creating an additional partition on the existing one the operating system will suggest you the unallocated space.
7. In the New Simple Volume Wizard, click Next.
8. Type the size of the volume you want to create in megabytes (MB) or accept the maximum default size, and then click Next.
9. Accept the default drive letter or choose a different drive letter to identify the partition, and then click Next.
10. In the Format Partition dialog box, do one of the following:
11. Review your choices, and then click Finish.

Hi danishhafiz007,
If you want to keep your operating system and data files together 250000 MB is enough. If you want to keep your operating system separate and rest together around 358400MB would be sufficient.
