Adding partitions to HD
On my new Inspiron 530 I have just the C:\ partition available for me to sue. The D:\ partition is for the Dell recovery code, which is not a problem.
Ideally I would like to use a separate partition, (volume?), for my data to simplify both management and backup.
The appears to be a possible tool in Vista for partition management.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I could effectively split my C: space, (currently around 180+ Gb), into two parts. Not sure what drive letter would be allocated but I would assume that it would become E:\ and the DVD and card reader drives would be relabelled upwards by one letter.
Any suggestions or advice would be helpful, before I get too much data loaded.

How to create partitions.
You could also, use a non-destructive partitioning utility, like Symantec's Partition Magic or Acronis Disk Director.
